Figure 8 Message of the day example
To enable this feature, log on to the System Manager server and create a file
named motd.txt. This file must be in /var/mcp/run/MCP_9.1/SM_x/data/. You can
create this file with an editor like vi. If this file does not exist, no Message of the
Day window appears.
Note that this file is not persisted after any software upgrade or update. During a
software upgrade or update, the data directory and its contents are overwritten.
The system also does not automatically transfer the file to the second instance of
the System Manager in redundant configurations. In redundant configurations,
you must manually transfer the file or create it on the second instance.
HTTP Denial of Service mitigation
Denial of service (DOS) attacks cause HTTP messaging that can degrade system
performance. The HTTP Denial of Service (DoS) Mitigation feature protects the
Web server from DoS attacks. Administrators can enable this feature on a per-
network element instance. The HTTP DoS mitigation feature applies to the
following:
• Personal Agent
• Provisioning Client
Enable the HTTP DoS feature from the System Management Console. For more
information about this feature, see the Feature Description Guide (NN42020-
125).
