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 this command with one or more blank spaces and the delimiting character (c). Then enter one or
more lines of text, terminating the message with the second occurrence of the delimiting character (c).
This MOTD banner is displayed to all terminals connected and is useful for sending messages that affect
all users (such as impending system shutdowns). Use the no motd-banner command to disable the
MOTD banner on a line.
When a user connects to the router, the MOTD banner (if configured) appears first, followed by the login
banner and prompts. After the user successfully 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.
To customize the banner, use tokens in the form $(token) in the message text. Tokens display current
configuration variables, such as the router hostname and IP address.
Tokens are described in
