Creating a pre-login banner:
The Set Banner command specifies text that appears prior to the login authentication. This feature allows
administrators to configure a message up to 2069 characters for display of legal, disclaimer or other text as required by
application. If left blank, the user will be taken directly to the login prompt.
NOTES:
For SSH sessions only:
The “keyboard-interactive” authentication method must be used for the banner to display.
Banner length is truncated to 1500 bytes in SSH packets to avoid failure of SSH connection when configured with a long login banner.
To create a pre-login banner:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type
set banner
and press
Enter
. Type the desired pre-login banner text and when
finished type
Ctrl-z
.
Creating a location description:
The Set Location command specifies text that appears in the Web control screen’s Location field. The text is also
appended to a Welcome to banner that appears when a user successfully logs in serially or through a Telnet session.
If you do not issue this command, or if you issue this command without specifying any text, the control screen’s
Location field will be blank and no Welcome to banner will be displayed.
To create a location description:
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type
set location
followed by a descriptive name of up to 32 alphanumeric and
other typed characters - (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal) are allowed; spaces are allowed. Press
Enter
.
Omitting any characters after typing ‘set location’ deletes any previously specified text.
Examples
The following command specifies Florida HQ as the descriptive location for the control screen and the login banner:
Switched -48 VDC: set location Florida HQ<Enter>
The following command deletes any previously specified location description:
Switched -48 VDC: set location<Enter>
In this case, the control screen’s Location field will be blank, and no welcome banner will be displayed after a
successful login.
