Engineering rules

The following engineering rules apply to the modified login banner feature:

The maximum size of the modified login banner (including boundaries) shall be 20 lines by 71 characters.

Only 18 lines in Warning Login banner are modifiable, the remaining 2 lines are reserved for the boundary before the first and last line of the warning banner.

Each line consists of 71 characters, however only 63 characters in the banner line can be modified.

Note: The ‘*” boundary is automatically added around the login banner.

The login warning message can be modified on a per network element (i.e. SPx or NPx) or to all network elements in a NP's span of control through TL1 using TID = All.

Note: Applying the modified login banner to all NEs through Site Manager is achieved in one of two methods:

TL1 Command Builder tool to generate a script which then can be used to apply the modified login banner to all NEs.

Site Manager's cut and paste capability to apply the modified login banner text to each individual NE through the Login Banner application.

Modified login banner data on the SPx and NPx is maintained during;

warm restarts

cold restarts

during network element power cycles
