Page 42 highlights

Classification of system information System information falls into the following types: • Log information • Trap information • Debugging information System information levels The system information is classified into eight severity levels, from 0 through 7 in descending order. The device outputs the system information with a severity level that is higher than or equal to the specified level. For example, if you configure an output rule with a severity level of 6 (informational), information that has a severity level from 0 to 6 is output.

System information levels
The system information is classified into eight severity levels, from 0 through 7 in descending order. The
device outputs the system information with a severity level that is higher than or equal to the specified

Output channels and destinations
Table 2
shows the output channels and destinations.
The system supports ten channels. By default, channels 0 through 6, and channel 9 are configured with
channel names and output destinations. You can change these default settings as needed. You can also
configure channels 7 and 8 and associate them with specific output destinations to meet your needs.
