Chapter 1 Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and Users
Group Policies
Configuring General Internal Group Policy Attributes
Group Policy Name
The group policy name was chosen when the internal group policy was created. You cannot change the
name of a group policy once it has been created. See Creating an Internal Group Policy, page 70-43 for
more information.
Configuring the Group Policy Banner Message
Specify the banner, or welcome message, if any, that you want to display. The default is no banner. The
message that you specify is displayed on remote clients when they connect. To specify a banner, enter
the banner command in group-policy configuration mode. The banner text can be up to 510 characters
long. Enter the “\n” sequence to insert a carriage return.
Note A carriage-return and line-feed included in the banner counts as two characters.
To delete a banner, enter the no form of this command. Be aware that using the no version of the
command deletes all banners for the group policy.
A group policy can inherit this value from another group policy. To prevent inheriting a value, enter the
none keyword instead of specifying a value for the banner string, as follows:
hostname(config-group-policy)# banner {value banner_string | none}
The following example shows how to create a banner for the group policy named FirstGroup:
hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# banner value Welcome to Cisco Systems ASA 9.0.
Specifying Address Pools for Remote Access Connections
When remote access clients connect to the ASA, the ASA can assign the client an IPv4 or IPv6 address
based on the group-policy specified for the connection.
You can specify a list of up to six local address pools to use for local address allocation. The order in
which you specify the pools is significant. The ASA allocates addresses from these pools in the order in
which the pools appear in this command.
Assigning an IPv4 Address Pool to an Internal Group Policy
Prerquisite
Create the IPv4 address pool. See Chapter 71, “Configuring IP Addresses for VPNs.”
