Chapter 1 Setting Up the ACE
Configuring a Message-of-the-Day Banner
For example, to specify a timeout period of 10 minutes, enter the following
command:
host1/Admin(config)#
login timeout 10
To restore the default timeout value of 5 minutes, enter the following command.
host1/Admin(config)#
no login timeout
To display the configured login time value, use the
show login timeout
command
in Exec mode. For example, enter the following command:
host1/Admin#
show login timeout
Login Timeout 10 minutes.
Configuring a Message-of-the-Day Banner
You can configure a message in configuration mode to display as the
message-of-the-day banner when a user connects to the ACE. Once connected to
the ACE, the message-of-the-day banner appears, followed by the login banner
and Exec mode prompt.
The syntax of this command is as follows:
banner
motd
text
The
text
argument is a line of message text to be displayed as the
message-of-the-day banner. The
text
string consists of all characters following the
first space until the end of the line (carriage return or line feed).
The # character functions as the delimiting character for each line. For the banner
text, spaces are allowed but tabs cannot be entered at the CLI. To instruct the ACE
to display multiple lines in a message-of -the-day banner, enter a new
banner
motd
command for each line that you wish to add.
The banner message is a maximum of 80 characters per line, up to a maximum of
3000 characters (3000 bytes) total for a message-of-the-day banner. This
maximum value includes all line feeds and the last delimiting character in the
message.
To add multiple lines in a message-of -the-day banner, precede each line by using
the
banner motd
command. The ACE appends each line to the end of the existing
banner. If the text is empty, the ACE adds a carriage return (CR) to the banner.
