Information filtering by severity works this way: information with the severity value
greater than the configured threshold is not output during the filtering.
If the threshold is set to 0, only information with the severity being
■
emergencies will be output;
If the threshold is set to 7, information of all severities will be output.

Ten channels and seven output directions of system information
The system supports seven information output directions, including the Console,
console terminal (monitor), logbuffer, loghost, trapbuffer, SNMP and logfile.
The system can support ten channels. The channels 0 through 5, and channel 9
have their default channel names and are associated with seven output directions
by default. Both the names of the routers and the associations between the
channels and output directions can be changed through commands.
