Parameters

legal: Configures the banner to be displayed before a user inputs the username and password to access the CLI.

login: Configures the banner displayed to be before password or scheme authentication is performed for a login user.

motd: Configures the greeting banner to be displayed before the legal banner appears. Support for the keyword depends on the device model.

Examples

# Create the legal banner, login banner, MOTD banner, and shell banner.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] header legal
Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.
Welcome to legal (header legal)%
[Sysname] header login
Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.
Welcome to login(header login)%
[Sysname] header motd
Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.
Welcome to motd(header motd)%
[Sysname] header shell
Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.
Welcome to shell(header shell)%

In this example, the percentage sign (%) is the starting and ending character of the text argument. Entering the percentage sign after the text quits the header command. Because it is the starting and ending character, the percentage sign is not included in the banner.

# Test the configuration by using Telnet. The login banner appears only when password or scheme login authentication has been configured.
