1.10.8 Ensure 'logging buffered severity level' is greater than or equal to '3'

Information

Determines which syslog messages should be temporary stored in the local buffer so they can be checked by the administrator

Rationale:

The internal log buffer serves as a temporary storage location, thus allowing the administrator performing a health check on the system to locally have the last logs generated. Given that the size of the buffer is limited, it is better to have a specific set of syslog messages to be kept therein.

Solution

Step 1: Run the following command to set the Logging Buffered to greater than or equal to 3:

hostname(config)# logging buffered 3

The severity level can be chosen between 0 through 7
