1.5.3 Provisioning the Login Banner
1.5.3.1 Introduction
The login banner appears as the first system output presented to a user when they log into the Allied Telesis
system. The user has the ability to provision or customize the system login banner. The banner could be
changed to present a message to all users or a message of the day.
Usage notes follow:
• The login banner is a text message presented to a user after successful login authentication.
• The login banner may be the same for all users or be different based upon privilege level (USER, MAN-
AGER, or SECURITY OFFICER).
• This functionality supports up to three (3) different text entries for login banner.
• Login banner text may either be specified by directly entering the text using CLI commands or added
using a script file that contains the desired text.
• The login banner entry may be up to 255 characters long.
Note that changes to the banner persist over software upgrades, over both active and inactive CFCs in a duplex
system, and over restarts.
Note: Only the Security Officer can change the login banner.
Following is an example of provisioning the login banner.
