I would think that if you explain your logic and ask him how "they want
to see it"....this may help.

The semantics certainly can be tricky here. Do you think the proctor
would answer this question or would that give the answer away?

Koen -

There is not a category called "alarm", however....understanding what an
alarm is may help. An alarm would mean that there is a problem, or,
condition that cause a problem. Therefore, a level 4 (warning) would
have the closest meaning here, since the next message up from that
(notifications), defines this as being normal. Just my 2 cents.

Ok. Assuming the mapping in the router is correct:

router(config)#logging trap ?
<0-7> Logging severity level
alerts Immediate action needed (severity=1)
critical Critical conditions (severity=2)
debugging Debugging messages (severity=7)
emergencies System is unusable (severity=0)
errors Error conditions (severity=3)
informational Informational messages (severity=6)
notifications Normal but significant conditions (severity=5)
warnings Warning conditions (severity=4)
<cr>

Which one is category "alarms"???
