Hey there,

When a system message pops up on you console or telnet session (depening
on what you've got configured) it will tell you what level of messge it
is. eg:-

%AAAA-3-BADARG : % AAA: bad argument ([hex])

is a severity 3 (error)

%ALPS-5-PEER_CONN_ID_CHANGE : Peer ([IP_address], [chars]) ID modified
to ([IP_address], [chars]).

is a severity 5 (warnings)

%AS5400-1-DFC_ERR : DFC [dec]: Detected PCI [chars] Error, CSR=[hex]

is a severity 1 (alerts)

Keep an eye on them and you'll get the hang of the different levels.
