Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper
task IDs.
Follow the banner incoming command with one or more blank spaces and the delimiting character (c).
After entering one or more lines of text, terminate the message with the second occurrence of the
delimiting character (c).
An incoming connection is one initiated from the network side of the router. Incoming connections are
also called reverse Telnet sessions. These sessions can display message-of-the-day (MOTD) banners and
incoming banners, but they do not display EXEC banners.
When a user connects to a router, the MOTD banner (if configured) appears first, followed by the login
banner and prompts. After the user logs in to the router, the EXEC banner or incoming banner is
displayed, depending on the type of connection. For a reverse Telnet login, the incoming banner is
displayed. For all other connections, the router displays the EXEC banner.
Incoming banners cannot be suppressed. If you do not want the incoming banner to appear, you must
delete it with the no banner incoming command.
To customize the banner, use tokens in the form $(token) in the message text. Tokens display current
variables, such as the router hostname and IP address. Tokens are described in
