3.5 Login Banner Pages
Banner pages allow you to display text messages to users before and after authentication. Banner text
information is taken from two files named
prelogin.txt
and
postlogin.txt
stored in the
/ram
or
/flash
directory on the SCS. The SCS does not store or display files stored in the
/ram
directory after rebooting.
To implement login and logout banner text:
1
Create text files with the desired text name
prelogin.txt
and/or
postlogin.txt
.
2
FTP to the IP address of the SCS.
3
Log in with the username
root
and enter the privileged password (
system
by default.)
4
Change directories to
/flash
or
/ram
.
5
“
Put
” the text files into the desired directory.
6
Reboot the SCS.
Subsequent users logging in or out of the SCS see the text in the
prelogin.txt
and
postlogin.txt
files,
respectively. The standard company/product/version banner displays if either of these two files is not
present in the SCS.
3.6 Managing the Attached Devices
You can manage the SCS’s connected serial devices over a network connection or through a modem
connection. Both of these methods ensure that the SCS and its attached serial devices are always accessible
and manageable, even in critical situations.
3.6.1 In-Band Management
The SCS provides TCP/IP socket connections to its serial ports. A TCP session to port 30
xx
, where
xx
is the
serial port number, will form a raw TCP/IP connection to that serial port. A connection to port 20xx provides
Telnet IAC interpretation.
Figure 3-13:
Telnet IAC Connection to the Second Serial Port
To connect to a specific SCS port using SSH, use socket number 22
xx,
where
xx
is the port number. The
syntax for an SSH connection depends on your client software. SSH is discussed in
SSH Sessions
on page
6-10.
Figure 3-14:
Example of an SSH Connection to the Second Serial Port
% telnet 192.0.1.66 2002
% ssh -p2202 192.0.1.66
