Allied Telesis AT-9000 Switch User Manual


 
AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes
PN 613-001447 Rev A 5 Allied Telesis, Inc.
After you enter a banner command, the prompt “Type CTRL/D to finish” is displayed on your
screen, at which point you may enter a banner message of up to 50 characters for the User
Exec and Privilege Exec modes banner and 100 characters for the message-of-the-day
banner. Spaces and special characters are allowed. When you are finished entering a
message, hold down the CTRL key and type D to return to the command prompt in the Global
Configuration mode. To test the banner for the User Exec and Privilege Exec modes, return
to the Privileged Exec mode and issue the CLEAR SCREEN command. To test the
message-of-the-day banner, log out and log in again.
This example creates the User Exec and Privilege Exec modes banner “Engineering Switch
Building 12:”
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# banner exec
Type CNTL/D to finish
Engineering Switch Building 12
awplus(config)#
This example creates the message-of-the-day banner “Updated November 12, 2010:”
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# banner motd
Type CNTL/D to finish
Updated November 12, 2010
awplus(config)#
LOG BUFFERED Command - The function and format of the LOG BUFFERED command
has not changed, but the FAN_CTRL option is no longer supported. If the command and
option are in the backup boot configuration file, reenter the command on the switch, omitting
the option.
FILTERING Command - This command, which In v2.1.1 allowed you to block ingress
broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packets on ports, is not supported in version 2.1.2.
There is no equivalent v2.1.2 command.
CLOCK TIMEZONE Command - If the switch is using an SNTP or NTP server as the source
of its date and time, you have to reenter the CLOCK TIMEZONE command because its
format has changed. You may now specify both hours and minutes to identify the difference
between local time and UTC, whereas before the command only accepted hours. The new
format of the command is:
clock timezone +
hh:mm
|-
hh:mm
HH are hours in the range of -12 to +12 and MM are minutes in the range of 00 to 60. The
offset must include a plus or minus sign. You must include both the hours and minutes, and
both values must have two digits. The example sets the UTC offset to +2 hours:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# clock timezone +02:00
The example sets the UTC offset to -8 hours, 15 minutes:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# clock timezone -08:15
