Mediant 8000
33.17 CLI Login Banner
The Mediant 8000 supports a user-modifiable login banner, displayed to the user
when logging into the Mediant 8000 Command Line Interface (CLI). This banner
should be used to warn the user about accessing the equipment and provide all
needed regulatory information, as defined in the site’s security policy.
 To modify the login banner:
1. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, see
Section 'The Command Line Interface (CLI)' on page 107.
2. Login as root user. For more information, see Section 'Logging in as a Root User'
on page 115.
3. At the prompt, type edit /etc/banner and press Enter. The file opens in the
default text editor.
client238::~# edit /etc/banner
4. Modify the text of the banner and save the file.
5. To activate the modified banner, at the prompt, type cp /etc/banner /etc/issue
and press Enter.
client238::~# cp /etc/banner /etc/issue
6. Repeat steps 1-5 on the Standby SC board.
Note: Do not edit the /etc/issue file directly. The banner will be lost after the system
is re-configured or Online Software Upgrade is performed.
