Router(config)#banner |
Set the Message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner. The MOTD banner displays immediately after a connection is made. |
|
Router(config)#banner login |
Set the login banner. The login banner displays after the MOTD banner and before the login prompt. |
|
Router(config)#banner exec |
Set the EXEC banner. The exec banner displays after a successful login. |
Router(config)#banner incoming |
Set the incoming banner. The incoming banner displays for a reverse telnet session. |
Router(config)#no banner <type> |
Removes the specified banner |
Note: The banner command without a keyword defaults to set the MOTD banner.
Follow the banner command with a delimiting character. The delimiter encloses the banner text, and helps the router identify the beginning and ending of the banner. This allows you to construct multiple-line banners.
Example
The following commands set the MOTD, login, and EXEC banners, using # as the delimiting character and inserting a hard return between each banner:
Router(config)#banner motd # This is the Message-of-the-day banner!
#
Router(config)#banner login # This is the Login banner!
#
Router(config)#banner exec # This is the Exec banner!
