AOS must retain the Standard Mandatory DoW Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until the administrator acknowledges the usage conditions and takes explicit actions to log on for further access.

The banner must be acknowledged by the administrator prior to the device allowing the administrator access to the network device. This provides assurance that the administrator has seen the message and accepted the conditions for access. If the consent banner is not acknowledged by the administrator, DoW will not be in compliance with system use notifications required by law.

To establish acceptance of the network administration policy, a click-through banner at management session logon is required. The device must prevent further activity until the administrator executes a positive action to manifest agreement.

In the case of command line interface (CLI) access using a terminal client, entering the username and password when the banner is presented is considered an explicit action of acknowledgement. Entering the username, viewing the banner, and then entering the password is also acceptable.

Verify the AOS configuration with the following command: show running-config | include "banner enforce-accept"

If "banner enforce-accept" is not set, this is a finding.

Configure AOS with the following commands: configure terminal banner enforce-accept write memory
