Outputting log information to the console

Network requirements

Configure the device to send ARP and IP log information that has a severity level of at least informational to the console.

Figure 21: Network diagram

Configuration procedure

# Enable the information center.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] info-center enable

# Use channel console to output log information to the console. (This step is optional because it is the default setting.)

[Sysname] info-center console channel console

# To avoid outputting unnecessary information, disable the output of log, trap, and debug information of all modules on channel console.

[Sysname] info-center source default channel console debug state off log state off trap state off

# Configure an output rule to output to the console ARP and IP log information that has a severity level of at least informational. (The source modules that are allowed to output information depend on the switch model.)

[Sysname] info-center source arp channel console log level informational state on
[Sysname] info-center source ip channel console log level informational state on
[Sysname] quit

# Enable the display of log information on a terminal. (Optional, this function is enabled by default.)

<Sysname> terminal monitor
Info: Current terminal monitor is on.
<Sysname> terminal logging
Info: Current terminal logging is on.

Now, if the ARP and IP modules generate log information, the information center automatically sends the log information to the console.
