Use this command to set a message of the day that is displayed when a user logs in to the CLI. You can view the message of the day that was set, by choosing the show parameter. Choose the clear parameter and no message of the day is displayed when a user logs in to the CLI.

mgmt motd {set|show| clear}
mgmt secure

Enables or disables Telnet access to the Management server.

Verify the current security setting by using the mgmt secure setting command

mgmt secure { on | off | setting}
mgmt snmp set

Use this command to set up or update current SNMP configurations, and to enable and disable the SNMP MIB2 service.

1. mgmt snmp set { community | description | location | contact } <value>

2. mgmt snmp set { on | off }

mgmt snmp show

Displays current SNMP configuration settings.

mgmt snmp show { community | description | location | contact | all | status }
mgmt ssh add

Adds a public key for the specified host to the SSH Store on the Management server. If strict SSH key checking is enabled on the Management server, public keys for all participating endpoint systems that the Management server connects to with SFTP must be stored in the SSH Store.

Restart the Management server after you enter this command.

Note: The keytype is a required parameter.
mgmt ssh add <rsa|dsa > host <name| ipaddr|name,ipaddr>
mgmt ssh del

Deletes the public key for the specified host from the SSH Store on the Management server.

Restart the Management server after you enter this command.

Note: The keytype is a required parameter.
mgmt ssh del host <hostname>|host IP address>
mgmt ssh keycheck

Enables or disables strict SSH key checking.

In strict mode, SFTP connectors connect to participating endpoint systems, only if the public key for that participating endpoint system matches the public key that is stored in the SSH Store of the Management server.

In easy mode, SFTP connectors connect to participating endpoint system if either:
  • The public key for that system matches the public key that is stored in the SSH Store
  • No public key exists in the SSH Store. If no key exists, the connector loads the current public key from the participating endpoint system to the SSH Store
mgmt ssh keycheck<strict|easy >
mgmt ssh list

Displays all or a specified host that has public keys in the SSH Store. Public keys in the SSH Store are used with SFTP connectors to ensure secure connections.

mgmt ssh list [host <name | host IP address>}
mgmt ssh show keycheck

Displays the current setting of SSH key checking: strict or easy.

mgmt ssh show keycheck
