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.
If the default banner is disabled or a non-default banner configured , the
default banner is restored only if the switch is reset to its factory-default
configuration.
Banner Operation with Telnet, Serial, or SSHv2 Access
When a system operator begins a login session, the switch displays a banner,
a Press any key to continue prompt, and Username/Password prompts (if a local
username or password have been configured). The sequence of the banner
and the various prompts may vary depending on whether access is through
Telnet, the serial/console port, or SSH. Figure 2-5 on page 2-8 illustrates the
default banner through a Telnet connection. If a non-default banner is config-
ured, it will replace the default banner.
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 dedicated banner window. If the switch is configured with user-
name/password, the operator will be prompted. After entry of the correct
username/password information (or if no username/password is required),
the switch then displays either the Registration 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 dedicated 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.
