Configuring Basic Features
USING THE CLI
To globally limit the number of unknown unicast packets an HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M Routing Switch
forwards to 110,000 per second, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
HP9300(config)# unknown-unicast limit 110000
HP9300(config)# write memory
To limit the number of unknown unicast packets sent on port 4/2 to 40,000, enter the following commands:
HP9300(config)# int ethernet 4/2
HP9300(config-if-4/2)# unknown-unicast limit 40000
HP9300(config-if-4/2)# write memory
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot perform this procedure using the Web management interface.
Configuring CLI Banners
HP devices can be configured to display a greeting message on users' terminals when they enter the Privileged
EXEC CLI level or access the device through Telnet. In addition, an HP device can display a message on the
Console when an incoming Telnet CLI session is detected.
Setting a Message of the Day Banner
You can configure the HP device to display a message on a user's terminal when he or she establishes a Telnet
CLI session. For example, to display the message "Welcome to HP ProCurve!" when a Telnet CLI session is
established:
HP9300(config)# banner motd $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Welcome to HP ProCurve!! $
A delimiting character is established on the first line of the banner motd command. You begin and end the
message with this delimiting character. The delimiting character can be any character except " (double-quotation
mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. In this example, the delimiting character is $ (dollar sign). The text in
between the dollar signs is the contents of the banner. The banner text can be up to 2048 characters long and can
consist of multiple lines. To remove the banner, enter the no banner motd command.
Syntax: [no] banner | [motd ]
NOTE: The banner command is equivalent to the banner motd
command.
When you access the Web management interface, the banner is displayed:
Setting a Privileged EXEC CLI Level Banner
You can configure the HP device to display a message when a user enters the Privileged EXEC CLI level. For
example:
HP9300(config)# banner exec_mode # (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '#'.
You are entering Privileged EXEC level
Don't foul anything up! #
