Brocade Communications Systems FastIron User Manual

NOTE
If you are using a Web client to view the message of the day, and your banners are very wide, with
large borders, you may need to set your PC display resolution to a number greater than the width of
your banner. For example, if your banner is 100 characters wide and the display is set to 80 characters,
the banner may distort, or wrap, and be difficult to read. If you set your display resolution to 120
characters, the banner will display correctly.
Requiring users to press the Enter key after the message of the day
banner
In earlier IronWare software releases, users were required to press the Enter key after the Message of
the Day (MOTD) was displayed, prior to logging in to the Brocade device on a console or from a Telnet
session.
Now, this requirement is disabled by default. Unless configured, users do not have to press Enter after
the MOTD banner is displayed.
For example, if the MOTD "Authorized Access Only" is configured, by default, the following messages
are displayed when a user tries to access the Brocade device from a Telnet session.
Authorized Access Only ...
Username:
The user can then login to the device.
However, if the requirement to press the Enter key is enabled, the following messages are displayed
when accessing the switch from Telnet.
Authorized Access Only ...
Press <Enter> to accept and continue the login process....
The user must press the Enter key before the login prompt is displayed.
Also, on the console, the following messages are displayed if the requirement to press the Enter key is
disabled.
Press Enter key to login
Authorized Access Only ...
User Access Verification
Please Enter Login Name:
However, if the requirement to press the Enter key after a MOTD is enabled, the following messages
are displayed when accessing the switch on the console.
Press Enter key to login
Authorized Access Only ...
Press <Enter> to accept and continue the login process....
The user must press the Enter key to continue to the login prompt.
To enable the requirement to press the Enter key after the MOTD is displayed, enter a command such
as the following.
Brocade(config)# banner motd require-enter-key
Syntax: [no] banner motd require-enter-key
Use the no form of the command to disable the requirement.
