Configuration procedure
Before the configuration, make sure that Device and PC are reachable to each other.
Configure the device
1.
# Enable information center.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] info-center enable
# Specify the host with IP address 1.2.0.1/16 as the log host, use channel loghost to output log
information (optional, loghost by default), and use local4 as the logging facility.
[Sysname] info-center loghost 1.2.0.1 channel loghost facility local4
# Disable the output of log, trap, and debugging information of all modules on channel loghost.
[Sysname] info-center source default channel loghost debug state off log state off
trap state off
CAUTION:
As the default system configurations for different channels are different, you must disable the output of
log, trap, and debugging information of all modules on the specified channel (loghost in this example)
first, and then configure the output rule as needed so that unnecessary information will not be output.
# Configure the information output rule: allow log information of ARP and IP modules with severity
equal to or higher than informational to be output to the log host. (The source modules allowed to
output information depend on the device model.)
[Sysname] info-center source arp channel loghost log level informational state on
[Sysname] info-center source ip channel loghost log level informational state on
