Modifying the Login Banner
The Login Banner feature allows you to change the banner that displays whenever someone logs into the
switch. This feature can be used to display messages about user authorization and security. You can
display the same banner for all login sessions or you can implement different banners for different login
sessions. You can display a different banner for logins initiated by FTP sessions than for logins initiated
by a direct console or a Telnet connection. The default login message looks similar to the following:
login : user123
password :
Welcome to the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6000
Software Version 6.3.1.733.R01 Development, October 05, 2007.

Here is an example of a banner that has been changed:

********** LOGIN ALERT ************************
This switch is a secure device. Unauthorized
use of this switch will go on your permanent record.
Two steps are required to change the login banner. These steps are listed here:
•
Create a text file that contains the banner you want to display in the switch’s /
flash
/
switch
directory.
•
Enable the text file by entering the
session banner
CLI command followed by the filename.
To create the text file containing the banner text, you may use the
vi
text editor in the switch. (See
Chapter 1, “Managing System Files,”
for information about creating files directly on the switch.) This
method allows you to create the file in the /
flash
directory without leaving the CLI console session. You
can also create the text file using a text editing software package (such as MS Wordpad) and transfer the
file to the switch’s /
flash
directory. For more information about file transfers, see
Chapter 1, “Managing
System Files.”
If you want the login banner in the text file to apply to FTP switch sessions, execute the following CLI
command where the text filename is
firstbanner.txt
.
-> session banner ftp /flash/firstbanner.txt
If you want the login banner in the text file to apply to CLI switch sessions, execute the following CLI
command where the text filename is
secondbanner.txt
.
-> session banner cli /flash/secondbanner.txt
