Configuring CLI Banners

HP devices can be configured to display a greeting message on users' terminals when they enter the Privileged
EXEC CLI level or access the device through Telnet. In addition, an HP device can display a message on the
Console when an incoming Telnet CLI session is detected.
Setting a Message of the Day Banner
You can configure the HP device to display a message on a user's terminal when he or she establishes a Telnet
CLI session. For example, to display the message "Welcome to HP ProCurve!" when a Telnet CLI session is
established:
HP9300(config)# banner motd $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Welcome to HP ProCurve!! $
A delimiting character is established on the first line of the banner motd command. You begin and end the
message with this delimiting character. The delimiting character can be any character except " (double-quotation
mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. In this example, the delimiting character is $ (dollar sign). The text in
between the dollar signs is the contents of the banner. The banner text can be up to 2048 characters long and
can consist of multiple lines. To remove the banner, enter the no banner motd command.
Syntax: [no] banner <delimiting-character> | [motd <delimiting-character>]
NOTE: The banner <delimiting-character> command is equivalent to the banner motd <delimiting-character>
command.
