Configuring banners

Banners are messages that the system displays during user login.

The system supports the following banners:

• Legal banner—Appears after the copyright or license statement. To continue login, the user must

enter Y or press Enter. To quit the process, the user must enter N. Y and N are case-insensitive.

• Message of the Day (MOTD) banner—Appears after the legal banner and before the login banner.

• Login banner—Appears only when password or scheme authentication has been configured.

• Incoming banner—Appears for Modem users.

• Shell banner—Appears for non-Modem users.

Banner message input modes

You can configure a banner in one of the following ways:

• Single-line input:

Input the entire banner in the same line as the command. The start and end delimiters for the

banner must be the same but can be any visible character. The input text, including the command

keywords and the delimiters cannot exceed 510 characters. In this mode, do not press Enter

before you input the end delimiter. For example, you can configure the shell banner "Have a nice

day." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell %Have a nice day.%

• Multiple-line input:

Input message text in multiple lines. In this approach, the message text can be up to 2000

characters. Use one of the following methods to implement multi-line input mode:

{ Method I—Press Enter after the last command keyword. At the system prompt, enter the banner

message and end with the delimiter character %. For example, you can configure the banner

"Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell

Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.――System prompt

Have a nice day.

Please input the password.%

{ Method II—After you type the last command keyword, type any character as the start delimiter

for the banner message and press Enter. At the system prompt, type the banner message and

end the last line with a delimiter that is the same as the start delimiter. For example, you can

configure the banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell A

Please input banner content, and quit with the character 'A'.――System prompt

Have a nice day.
