Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Local MAC address for Layer 2 management traffic

2 Configuring the device as an SNTP server

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 <delimiting-character>

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 <delimiting-character>

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.
