Selecting a Management Interface

Advantages of Using ProCurve Manager or ProCurve Manager Plus

Note The switch’s Web browser interface does not display the default banner.

Banner Operation with Telnet, Serial, or SSHv2 Access

When a system operator begins a login session, the switch displays the banner

above the local password prompt or, if no password is configured, above the

Press any key to continue prompt. Entering a correct password or, if no password

is configured, pressing any key clears the banner from the CLI and displays

the CLI prompt. (Refer to figure 2-5 on page 2-9.)

Banner Operation with Web Browser Access

When a system operator uses a Web browser to access the switch, the text of

a non-default banner configured on the switch appears in a dedicated banner

window with a link to the Web agent home page. Clicking on To Home Page

clears the banner window and prompts the user for a password (if configured).

Following entry of the correct username/password information (or if no

username/password is required), the switch then displays either the Registra-

tion page or the switch’s home page. Note that if the banner feature is disabled

or if the switch is using the factory-default banner shown in figure 2-5, then

the banner page does not appear in the Web browser when an operator

initiates a login session with the switch.

Configuring and Displaying a Non-Default Banner

You can enable or disable banner operation using either the switch’s CLI or

an SNMP application. The steps include:

1. Enable non-default banner operation and define the endpoint delimiter

for the banner.

2. Enter the desired banner text, including any specific line breaks you

want.

3. Enter the endpoint delimiter.
