incoming banner, also called user interface banner, displayed when a user
interface is activated by a Modem user.
login banner, welcome information at login authentications, displayed when
password and scheme authentications are configured.
motd banner, welcome information displayed before authentication.
legal banner, also called authorization information. The system displays some
copyright or authorization information, and then displays the legal banner before a
user logs in, waiting for the user to confirm whether to continue the authentication
or login. If entering Y or pressing the Enter key, the user enters the authentication
or login process; if entering N, the user quits the authentication or login process. Y
and N are case insensitive.
II. Configuring a banner
When you configure a banner, the system supports two input modes. One is to input all
the banner information right after the command keywords. The start and end characters
of the input text must be the same but are not part of the banner information. In this
case, the input text, together with the command keywords, cannot exceed 510
characters. The other is to input all the banner information in multiple lines by pressing
the Enter key. In this case, up to 2000 characters can be input.
The latter input mode can be achieved in the following three ways:
Press the Enter key directly after the command keywords, and end the setting with
the % character. The Enter and % characters are not part of the banner
information.
Input a character after the command keywords at the first line, and then press the
Enter key. End the setting with the character input at the first line. The character at
the first line and the end character are not part of the banner information.
Input multiple characters after the command keywords at the first line (with the first
and last characters being different), then press the Enter key. End the setting with
the first character at the first line. The first character at the first line and the end
character are not part of the banner information.
