Configuring banners
Introduction to banners
Banners are prompt information displayed by the system when users are connected to the SecBlade LB
module, perform login authentication, and start interactive configuration. The administrator can set
corresponding banners as needed.
The SecBlade LB module supports the following types of banners.
• shell banner—Also called session banner, displayed when a non TTY Modem user enters user view.
• incoming banner—Also called user interface banner, displayed when a user interface is activated
by a Modem user.
• login banner—Login welcome information, displayed when password or scheme authentication is
configured.
• motd (Message of the Day) banner—Welcome information displayed before authentication.
• legal banner—Also called license information. The system displays some copyright or license
information, and then displays the legal banner before a user logs in, waiting for the user to confirm
whether to continue the authentication or login. If entering Y or pressing the Enter key, the user
enters the authentication or login process. If entering N, the user quits the authentication or login
process. Y and N are case insensitive.

The input text, together with the command keywords, cannot exceed 510 characters. In this mode, do not
press Enter after typing the banner information. For example, to configure a banner like “Have a nice
day.”, use the following command:
