Setting System ID, Location, and Contact

To assign a chassis ID, a physical location, and a contact person to the system
using snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol), enter the following
commands:
ProCurve(config)#snmp-server location <string>
ProCurve(config)#snmp-server chassis-id <string>
ProCurve(config)#snmp-server contact <string>
where <string> represents the text you enter to specify the location, chassis
identity, and contact support information for the switch.

Setting the Log in Banners

When a user connects to the switch, they will encounter banners (if they have
been configured) in the following order:
1. message of the day (MOTD) banner - displays whenever a user connects
to the switch using either a serial or telnet connection.
2. login banner - displays during login if a password has been defined for the
telnet line that they are connecting on.
To create a message of the day (MOTD), use the following command:
ProCurve(config)#banner motd "message"
To create a login banner, use the following command:
ProCurve(config)#banner login "login"
If the switch is configured for aaa authentication (see
Prompts" on page 5-12), you can then configure authentication and
authentication failure banners with the following commands.
To create an authentication banner, enter:
ProCurve(config)#aaa authentication banner "banner"
To create an authentication failure banner, enter:
ProCurve(config)#aaa authentication fail-message "fail"
