Acting as the system information hub, information center classifies and manages 
system information. Together with the debugging function (the debugging 
command), information center offers a powerful support for network 
administrators and developers in monitoring network performance and 
diagnosing network problems.

The information center of the system has the following features:

The system is available with three types of information:

■

Log information

■

Trap information

■

Debugging information

The information is classified into eight levels by severity and can be filtered by 
level. More emergent information has a smaller severity level.

Information filtering by severity works this way: information with the severity value 
greater than the configured threshold is not output during the filtering.
