To avoid output of unnecessary information, disable all modules from outputting log, trap, and debug

information to the specified channel (console in this example) before you configure the output rule.

# Configure an output rule to output ARP and IP log information that has a severity level of at least

informational to the console.

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

log information to the console.
