It’s kind of hard to believe this was eight years ago! Time has changed some things over the years and I had a user Aaron or Frank? š contact me about this post. In the post I posted a question, “trying to figure out a way to change the color of just the banner only” well eight years later I got an answer, so first of all thanks for reaching out and I’m glad you found this resource helpful and I’ll just reference the response here:
“The sequence you need is [0m – this resets any colour and formatting codes back to the terminal defaults. I also found that you need to set theĀ international flag on your lines before this would appear correctly.”
So something like this:
R1(config)# line vty 0 15 R1(config-line)# international R1(config-line)# end
I came across an interesting idea, what if you could color code your devices in command line? So such as if you were operating routers at a core level you could color code the CLI to the color red, and the branch routers green and etc. I wasnāt sure if this would possible but doing some searching through the internet I found a guy Ivan Pepelnjak who wrote how to do this Ā a couple years ago and wrote a couple books as well, check out his blog/website at http://www.ipspace.net there is tons of helpful information along with hisĀ original guide here.Ā

Working on my Powershell skills, I was playing around with a Barracuda Load Balancer and noticed it supported some APIs which is kind of cool. At first I was playing around with it in postman and got to login and put some servers in maintenance mode, but then thought it would be really neat if I could get this working in Powershell, that way us humans can just run a script and even thinking in the “future” maybe have some automated process (a.k.a AI) handle this for us. š So in this post I’ll talk about the script I created and some of the small challenges I had with this overall it was kind of neat putting this together.
