Eight levels of system information
The information is classified into eight levels by severity. The severity levels in the descending order are
emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, informational and debug. When the system information
is output by level, the information with severity level higher than or equal to the specified level is output.
For example, in the output rule, if you configure to output information with severity level being
informational, the information with severity level being emergency through informational is all allowed to
be output.

Six output destinations and ten channels of system information
The system supports six information output destinations, including the console, monitor terminal
(monitor), log buffer, log host, trap buffer and SNMP module. The specific destinations supported vary
with devices.
The system supports ten channels. The six channels 0 through 5 are configured with channel names,
output rules, and are associated with output destinations by default. The channel names, output rules
and the associations between the channels and output destinations can be changed through
commands. Besides, you can configure channels 6, 7, 8, and 9 without changing the default
configuration of the six channels.
