Syntax: [no] banner <delimiting-character> | [motd <delimiting-character>]
NOTE
The banner <delimiting-character> command is equivalent to the banner motd
<delimiting-character> command.
Configuring TFTP
All Brocade devices allow you to use Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to copy files to and from the
flash memory modules on the management module. You can use TFTP to perform the following
operations:
• Upgrade boot or flash code.
• Archive boot or flash code or a configuration file on a TFTP server.
• Load the system using flash code and a configuration file stored on a TFTP server. (This occurs
as part of the BootP or DHCP process.)
NOTE
Certain boot upgrades may require you to install new firmware. Contact your reseller or Brocade
Communications Systems Inc. for information.
Using the management port
All ServerIron ADX platforms have a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port that is designed to be used for
managing the device. This port allows you to provide management access to a ServerIron ADX on a
seperate and more secure network that the one where general network traffic is being passed. This
access is proved through an RJ-45 connector on the front panel of the ServerIron ADX 1000
platforms or on the management module for ServerIron ADX chassis products. Figure 1 and
Figure 2 show the locations of the management ports on the ServerIron ADX 1000 and chassis
devices.
