Banner Input Methods; Configuration Procedure - HP 830 Series Configuration Manual

Banner input methods

You can configure a single-line banner or a multi-line banner:
• Single-line banner.
A single-line banner must be input in the same line as the command. The start and end delimiters
for the banner can be any printable character, but they must be the same and must not be included
in the banner. The input text, including the command keywords and the delimiters, cannot exceed
510 characters. Do not press Enter before you input the end delimiter.
For example, you can configure the shell banner "Have a nice day." as follows:
<System> system-view
[System] header shell %Have a nice day.%
• Multi-line banner.
A multi-line banner can be up to 2000 characters. To input a multi-line banner, use one of the
following methods:
Method 1—Press Enter after the final command keyword. At the system prompt, enter the
banner message and end with the delimiter character %. For example, you can configure the
banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:
<System> system-view
[System] header shell
Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.
Have a nice day.
Please input the password.%
Method 2—After you type the final command keyword, type any single character as the start
delimiter for the banner, and press Enter. At the system prompt, type the banner and end the
final line with a delimiter that is the same as the start delimiter. For example, you can configure
the banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:
<System> system-view
[System] header shell A
Please input banner content, and quit with the character 'A'.
Have a nice day.
Please input the password.A
Method 3—After you type the final keyword, type the start delimiter and part of the banner, and
press Enter. At the system prompt, enter the rest of the banner and end the final line with a
delimiter that is the same as the start delimiter. For example, you can configure the banner
"Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:
<System> system-view
[System] header shell AHave a nice day.
Please input banner content, and quit with the character 'A'.
Please input the password.A
