Modifying the Login Banner
The Login Banner feature allows you to change the banner that displays whenever someone logs into the
switch. This feature can be used to display messages about user authorization and security. You can
display the same banner for all login sessions or you can implement different banners for different login
sessions. You can display a different banner for logins initiated by FTP sessions than for logins initiated
by a direct console or a Telnet connection. The default login message looks similar to the following:
login : user123
password :
