Wired Intelligent Edge

Hi All,

 

Does Aruba switch have motd banner? If yes, what's the command to do it?

 

 

banner motd <delimiter> <banner text> <delimeter>

 

Thanks cap, will try it out tomorrow

Is there any way to center text or image created with symbol in Banner motd? I tried blank space and it doesn't work.

mathieuc,

 

Just use quotes:

 

banner motd ^

Thanks cjoseph!

It work with the quotes. Text is now keeping the centered formating. 

 

I don't see it on the GUI login screen though. If I remember when I did my test without the quote I saw it but not now with the quote...

 

A bug maybe?

(I'm running on v6.4.1.0 and waiting 6.4.3.0)

definitely a bug.  Let me see when that can be fixed...

Any update on the bug?

 

I'm waiting 6.4.3.0 to upgrade all my controlle for a couple of other bug. Does someone in developpement know if this issue might be fixed in this version?

I'm running 6.4.2.2 on my 7200 and see the banner in the WebUI.

 

What bugs fixes are you waiting for in 6.4.3.0? That feature release is still under engineering development and testing.

 

Best regards,

 

Madani

madjali,

 

Please use the exact banner motd code from my post.  It seems to look fine on the commandline, but scroll bars in the GUI.

mathieuc/cjoseph,
I'm sorry I mis-read the comment:

 

"I don't see it on the GUI login screen though. If I remember when I did my test without the quote I saw it but not now with the quote..."

 

I thought you were saying the banner was missing entirely.

After using cjoseph's example I see that we're ignoring the whitespace on the right of each line and requiring scroll bars to see the full text.

Best regards,

Madani

Just an update on this bug. I got a reply from customer support saying that Engineering has fixed the banner alignment issue and display of it in the web UI. The fix will be integrated in next code release early this year.

Any idea how to do this with the banner ansible module for CX switches? I can't seem to mimic the delimiter with the yaml format.

Hi,

 

We can configure the motd banner in Aruba gear, use the following commands.

 

(config) #banner motd #

Enter TEXT message [maximum of 4095 characters].
Each line in the banner message should not exceed 255 characters.
End with the character '#'.

 

( Type your banner here )

 

Welcome to Aruba #

 

(To preview your banner )

 

(config) #show banner

Welcome to Aruba

 

Hope answered your question :)

 

Cheers,

 Venu Puduchery
