Usage Guidelines
You can run the info-center channel command in the following scenarios: The same information is sent to different directions. For example, the log file and log host record the same content or the trap buffer and the SNMP agent record the same content.
The channels should not have the same name.
For details on how to configure a channel for outputting information to a log host, see info-center loghost.
The info-center channel command takes effect only after the information center function has been enabled using the info-center enable command.
