Using Sequence-Sensitive Commands
The Instant CLI does not support positioning or precedence of sequence-sensitive commands. Therefore, it is
recommended that you remove the existing configuration before adding or modifying the configuration
details for sequence-sensitive commands. You can either delete an existing profile or remove a specific
configuration by using the no… commands.
The following table lists the sequence-sensitive commands and the corresponding no commands to remove
the configuration:
Sequence-Sensitive Command Corresponding no command

Banner and Loginsession Configuration using CLI
Starting from Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0, the Banner and Loginsession Configuration feature is introduced in the
W-IAP, wherein the text banner can be displayed at the login prompt when users are on a management (Telnet
or SSH) session of the CLI, and the management session can remain active even when there is no user activity
involved.
The banner command defines a text banner to be displayed at the login prompt of a CLI. Instant supports up
to 16 lines text, and each line accepts a maximum of 255 characters including spaces.
To configure a banner:
(Instant AP)(config)# banner motd <motd_text>
Example of a text banner configuration:
(Instant AP)(config)# banner motd "######welcome to login instant###########"
(Instant AP)(config)# banner motd "####please start to input admin and password#########"
(Instant AP)(config)# banner motd "###Don't leak the password###"
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To display the banner:
(Instant AP)# show banner
