If the system information must have more than one word, enclose it in dou-
ble quotes.
Example:
Setting system information
The following example shows the commands used to configure the contact information for your device, if you
start from the operator execution mode.
node(cfg)#system contact "Bill Anybody, Phone 818 700 1504"
node(cfg)#system hostname node
node(cfg)#system location “Wiring Closet, 3rd Floor”
node(cfg)#system provider “Best Internet Services, [email protected], Phone 818 700
2340”
node(cfg)# system subscriber “Mechanical Tools Inc., [email protected], Phone 818
700 1402”
node(cfg)# system supplier “WhiteBox Networks Inc., [email protected], Phone 818
700 1212”
Setting the system banner
The system banner is displayed on all systems that connect to your SmartNode via Telnet or a serial connection
(see
figure 13
). It appears at login and is useful for sending messages that affect administrators and operators,
such as scheduled maintenance or system shutdowns. By default no banner is present on login.
To create a system banner use the
banner
command followed by the message you want displayed. If the ban-
ner message has to be formed out of more than one word the information is enclosed by double quotes. Adding
the escape sequence “\n” to the string forming the banner creates a new line on the connected terminal screen.
Use the
no banner
command to delete the message.
