452 CHAPTER 40: INFORMATION CENTER
■ If the threshold is set to 1, only information with the severity being 
emergencies will be output;
■ If the threshold is set to 8, information of all severities will be output.
Ten channels and six output directions of system information
The system supports six information output directions, including the Console, 
Monitor terminal (monitor), logbuffer, loghost, trapbuffer and SNMP.
The system supports ten channels. The channels 0 through 5 have their default 
channel names and are associated with six output directions by default. Both the 
channel names and the associations between the channels and output directions 
can be changed through commands.
n 
Configurations for the six output directions function independently and take effect 
only after the information center is enabled.
