Configuring Login Messages

In the R81.10.X releases, this feature is available starting from the R81.10.10 Build 996002945 and higher version.

This section provides commands to configure Login Messages:

  • Banner - A message that users see before they log in. For example, "Please enter your credentials."

    Note - You only see the banner before you enter your credentials. If the gateway remembers your login credentials, you immediately see the Message of the Day (if configured).

  • Message of the Day (MOTD) - A message that users see after they log in. For example, "Maintenance window at 16:00."
