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
