A.
This message is a level 5 notification message.

B.
This message is unimportant and can be ignored.

C.
This is a normal system-generated information message and does not require further investigation.

D.
Service timestamps have been globally enabled.

Explanation/Reference:
Without having run the “service timestamps” commands, syslog messages take the
following form:
17w5d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/41, changed state to down.
The default is to show the uptime of the router/switch, not the specific time and date,
leaving you to try and count backwards from today to determine when the event occurred.
By issuing the “service timestamps log datetime localtime ” command, reading the output,
never mind troubleshooting, is greatly simplified. The above output changes to:
Aug 20 09:11:22 EST: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/41, changed
state to down
And from the output in the question, the alert is a level-5 notification. The output levels
are:
0 – Emergencies
1 – Alerts
2 – Critical
3 – Errors
4 – Warnings
5 – Notifications
6 – Informational
7 – Debugging
The level of a particular message will be indicated by the Sys-level… in this case, a ‘5’.
