Correct answer: A
Explanation
To effectively troubleshoot network issues, enabling timestamps on log messages is crucial to correlate events over time. The correct command to achieve this in Cisco devices is 'service timestamps log datetime'. Other options are either non-existent or unrelated to enabling timestamps.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct command to enable timestamps on log messages in Cisco devices. It allows the log messages to display the date and time for better troubleshooting.
- B. Incorrect.
This is an incorrect command. There is no such command as 'logging timestamps enable' in Cisco devices.
- C. Incorrect.
This is an incorrect command. The syntax 'service log timestamps enable' does not exist in Cisco devices.
- D. Incorrect.
This command sets the size of the logging buffer in bytes and does not relate to enabling timestamps on log messages.
