Configuring Cli Banners - Foundry Networks Switch and Router Installation And Configuration Manual

Configuring Basic Features
BigIron(config)# multicast limit 120000
BigIron(config)# write memory
To limit the number of multicast packets sent on port 3/6 to 55,000, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config)# int ethernet 3/6
BigIron(config-if-3/6)# multicast limit 55000
BigIron(config-if-3/6)# write memory
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot perform this procedure using the Web management interface.
Limiting Unknown Unicasts
To limit the number unknown unicast packets a Foundry device can forward each second, use the following CLI
method.
USING THE CLI
To globally limit the number of unknown unicast packets a BigIron router forwards to 110,000 per second, enter
the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
BigIron(config)# unknown-unicast limit 110000
BigIron(config)# write memory
To limit the number of unknown unicast packets sent on port 4/2 to 40,000, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config)# int ethernet 4/2
BigIron(config-if-4/2)# unknown-unicast limit 40000
BigIron(config-if-4/2)# write memory
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot perform this procedure using the Web management interface.

Configuring CLI Banners

Foundry devices can be configured to display a greeting message on users' terminals when they enter the
Privileged EXEC CLI level or access the device through Telnet. In addition, a Foundry device can display a
message on the Console when an incoming Telnet CLI session is detected.
Setting a Message of the Day Banner
You can configure the Foundry device to display a message on a user's terminal when he or she establishes a
Telnet CLI session. For example, to display the message "Welcome to BigIron!" when a Telnet CLI session is
established:
BigIron(config)# banner motd $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Welcome to BigIron! $
A delimiting character is established on the first line of the banner motd command. You begin and end the
message with this delimiting character. The delimiting character can be any character except " (double-quotation
mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. In this example, the delimiting character is $ (dollar sign). The text in
between the dollar signs is the contents of the banner. The banner text can be up to 2048 characters long and
can consist of multiple lines. To remove the banner, enter the no banner motd command.
Syntax: [no] banner <delimiting-character> | [motd <delimiting-character>]
NOTE: The banner <delimiting-character> command is equivalent to the banner motd <delimiting-character>
command.
When you access the Web management interface, the banner is displayed:
