Banner and Loginsession Configuration using CLI
The Banner and Loginsession Configuration feature is introduced in the AP, 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.
SCALANCE W supports up to 16 lines text, and each line accepts a maximum of 255
characters including spaces.
To configure a banner:
(scalance)(config)# banner motd <motd_text>
Example of a text banner configuration:
(scalance)(config)# banner motd "######welcome to login scalance###########"
(scalance)(config)# banner motd "####please start to input admin and
password#########"
(scalance)(config)# banner motd "###Don't leak the password###"
(scalance)(config)# end
(scalance)# commit apply
To display the banner:
(scalance)# show banner
The loginsession command configures the management session (Telnet or SSH) to remain
active without any user activity.
To define a timeout interval:
(scalance) (config) #loginsession timeout <val>
<val> can be any number of minutes from 5 to 60, or any number of seconds from 1 to 3600.
You can also specify a timeout value of 0 to disable CLI session timeouts. The users must
re-login to the AP after the session times out. The session does not time out when the value
is set to 0.
