set banner {login message | motd message}
Parameters
login message
motd message
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, Read‐Write.
Usage
Use the \? escape sequence when ending a banner with a question mark to avoid the question

A pre‐session login banner will cause a prompt to display when logging on to the system
requiring the user to verify y/n before the login will continue. For example if the banner login is
"By proceeding with this login you are verifying that you are a member of the Enterasys
documentation group and are authorized to use this system." The following will display prior to
entering the login password:
By proceeding with this login you are verifying that you are a member of the
Enterasys documentation group and are authorized to use this system.
Proceed to login? (y/n) [n]?
