Configuring CLI banners
The device 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, a 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 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 BigIron RX!" when a Telnet
CLI session is established.
BigIron RX(config)# banner motd $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.
Welcome to BigIron RX!! $
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
If a message of the day(MOTD) is configured, the user will be required to press the Enter key before
the the user can login.
NOTE
The banner <delimiting-character> command is equivalent to the banner motd
<delimiting-character> command.
