How to escape a line feed in login banner via CLI?

[panwmod]

What is the escape character/ sequence for LF or CR/LF in cli mode?

Via web interface it is possible to create a multiline login banner with line breaks that looks like the example below.

line 1 test

line 2 login

line 3 banner

This shows up tidy during login via cli and webinterface

$ ssh -l admin 192.168.1.1

line 1 test

line 2 login

line 3 banner

Password:

When configure the set config-output-format show the following code

admin@PA-500# show deviceconfig system

set deviceconfig system login-banner "line 1 test

line 2 login

line 3 banner

"

However, using this code will result into one line only

"line 1 test" and errors Unknown command: line for the remaining lines.

admin@PA-4050# set deviceconfig system login-banner "test <br> test3 <br> test56 <br>"

I am afraid that solves it only for the login via web interface.

Via CLI it results into the following banner:

$ ssh -l admin 192.168.1.1

test<br>test3<br>test56<br>Password:

Thanks

That is because the you are using html so this will only affect the web ui. The ssh session will show you the entire string. If you also want to have this appear via ssh. please login to the web ui --> device --> setup --> configure login banner.

Thank you for the fast answer.

If I want the line breaks to show correctly during CLI login, I have to use the Web UI to configure the login banner?

There is no way to set the same configuration via CLI?
