Q from a Cisco user: Webauth page on WLC 5508
“I need to download a login banner page on our WLC 5508 version 7.4.100.60 but i am getting error and the logs is showing the following :
*TransferTask: Sep 11 11:05:04.248: #CLIWEB-3-BUFFER_TOO_LONG: cli_web_api.c:3240 Buffer for Login Banner too long (max = 1296 chars).
My FTP is working fine since i have upgraded the version using it and the .tar file which i am trying to upload is 50K can anybody help on this please”
More suggestions here: Login banner page on WLC 5508
- These are two separate things. One is a webauth which is a tar file. The login banner is a txt file and both need to upload separately. The login banner shows up on the top of the login when you try to access the WLC from the GUI and it also shows up when you try to access the WLC via telnet, ssh or console.
- Typically, login banners are .txt files. Please ensure the file that you are uploading is a .txt and not a .tar.
If you are unsuccessful in uploading the file through the Web GUI, might I suggest that you try it through CLI? Sometimes transfers just seem to work better through CLI.
Just in case you have any questions on the CLI transfer, I have this link for your reference: the Configuration Guide for the WLC.
