Configuring the device as an SNTP server
2
Setting a privileged EXEC CLI level banner
You can configure the Brocade device to display a message when a user enters the Privileged EXEC
CLI level.
Example
Brocade(config)# banner exec_mode # (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '#'.
You are entering Privileged EXEC level
Do not foul anything up! #
As with the banner motd command, you begin and end the message with a delimiting character; in
this example, the delimiting character is #(pound sign). The delimiting character can be any
character except “ (double-quotation mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. The text in
between the pound signs is the contents of the banner. Banner text can be up to 4000 characters,
which can consist of multiple lines.
Syntax: [no] banner exec_mode
To remove the banner, enter the no banner exec_mode command.
Displaying a console message when an incoming Telnet session is detected
You can configure the Brocade device to display a message on the Console when a user
establishes a Telnet session. This message indicates where the user is connecting from and
displays a configurable text message.
Example
Brocade(config)# banner incoming $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Incoming Telnet Session!! $
When a user connects to the CLI using Telnet, the following message appears on the Console.
Telnet from 10.157.22.63
Incoming Telnet Session!!
As with the banner motd command, you begin and end the message with a delimiting character; in
this example, the delimiting character is $(dollar sign). The delimiting character can be any
character except “ (double-quotation mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. The text in
between the dollar signs is the contents of the banner. Banner text can be up to 4000 characters,
which can consist of multiple lines.
Syntax: [no] banner incoming
To remove the banner, enter the no banner incoming command.
Local MAC address for Layer 2 management traffic
By default, Brocade Layer 2 devices use the MAC address of the first port as the MAC address for
Layer 2 management traffic. For example, when the Brocade device receives an ARP request for its
management IP address, it responds with the first port MAC address. This may cause problems in
some configurations where the Brocade device uses the same MAC address for management
traffic as for switched traffic.
