The "logging buffered warnings" command configures the router to send syslog messages with a severity level of warnings or higher to the buffer. Syslog is a standard for sending log messages within a network, and it allows network administrators to monitor network activity and diagnose problems.
Syslog messages are classified into different severity levels, ranging from level 0 (emergency) to level 7 (debugging). The severity level of a syslog message indicates the urgency of the message.
Therefore, with the "logging buffered warnings" command configured, the router will send messages with a severity level of warnings or higher to the buffer. The severity levels that will appear in the router syslog are:
A. Errors: This is a severity level of 3, indicating an error has occurred that requires immediate attention.
D. Alerts: This is a severity level of 1, indicating an alert condition that should be addressed immediately.
E. Notifications: This is a severity level of 5, indicating an event that may be of interest to administrators, but does not require immediate action.
Therefore, the three severity levels that will appear in the router syslog with the "logging buffered warnings" command are errors, alerts, and notifications.
