You can manage the banner at the cluster or SVM level. The banner configured for the cluster is also used for all SVMs that do not have a banner message defined. A subsequently created banner for an SVM overrides the cluster banner for that SVM.
- Manage the banner at the cluster level:
| If you want to… | Then... |
|---|
| Create a banner to display for all CLI login sessions | Set a cluster-level banner: security login banner modify -vserver cluster_name { [-message "text"] | [-uri ftp_or_http_addr] } |
| Remove the banner for all (cluster and SVM) logins | Set the banner to an empty string ( "" ): security login banner modify -vserver * -message "" |
| Override a banner created by an SVM administrator | Modify the SVM banner message: security login banner modify -vserver svm_name { [-message "text"] | [-uri ftp_or_http_addr] } |
- Manage the banner at the SVM level:
Specifying
-vserver svm_name is not required in the
SVM context.
| If you want to… | Then... |
|---|
| Override the banner supplied by the cluster administrator with a different banner for the SVM | Create a banner for the SVM: security login banner modify -vserver svm_name { [-message "text"] | [-uri ftp_or_http_addr] } |
| Suppress the banner supplied by the cluster administrator so that no banner is displayed for the SVM | Set the SVM banner to an empty string for the SVM: security login banner modify -vserver svm_name -message "" |
| Use the cluster-level banner when the SVM currently uses an SVM-level banner | Set the SVM banner to "-" : security login banner modify -vserver svm_name -message "-" |
