Setting The Domain Name; Adding A Login Banner; Setting The Host Name - Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 6 Configuring Basic Settings

Setting the Domain Name

The domain name is used for RSA key generation. RSA keys are required for SSH, the HTTPS server,
and can be used for VPN. You should also set the host name for key generation (see
Name"). If you change the domain name after generating keys, you need to regenerate the keys using
the ca generate rsa key command.
For multiple context mode, you can set the domain name for each context, as well as within the system
execution space.
To specify the domain name for the FWSM, enter the following command:
FWSM/contexta(config)# domain-name name
For example, to set the domain as cisco.com, enter the following command:
FWSM(config)# domain-name cisco.com

Adding a Login Banner

You can configure a message to display when a user connects to the FWSM, before a user logs in, or
before a user enters privileged mode.
To configure a login banner, enter the following command in the system execution space or within a
context:
FWSM/contexta(config)# banner {exec | login | motd} text
Adds a banner to display at one of three times: when a user first connects (message-of-the-day (motd)),
when a user logs in (login), and when a user accesses privileged mode (exec). When a user connects to
the FWSM, the message-of-the-day banner appears first, followed by the login banner and prompts.
After the user successfully logs in to the FWSM, the exec banner displays.
For the banner text, spaces are allowed but tabs cannot be entered using the CLI. You can dynamically
add the host name or domain name of the FWSM by including the strings $(hostname) and $(domain).
If you configure a banner in the system configuration, you can use that banner text within a context by
using the $(system) string in the context configuration.
To add more than one line, precede each line by the banner command.
For example, to add a message-of-the-day banner, enter:
FWSM/contexta(config)# banner motd Welcome to the $(hostname) firewall.
FWSM/contexta(config)# banner motd Contact me at admin@admin.com for any
FWSM/contexta(config)# banner motd issues.
