CLI Banner Configuration
FastIron devices can be configured to display a greeting message on users’ terminals when they enter the Privileged EXEC CLI level.
Setting a Message of the Day Banner
Use the banner motd command to
configure the FastIron device to display a message on a user terminal when a CLI
session (for example, SSH, console) is established. The banner motd command allows
you to define a delimiting character to be used at the beginning and end of the
text
to be used as the banner. The delimiting character cannot appear in the message
and
can be any character except a double quotation mark ( " ). The dollar sign ( $
) is
used as the delimiting character in the example. The banner text can be up to
4,000
characters long and can contain multiple lines.
For example, to display the message “Welcome to ICX!” when a Telnet CLI session is established, enter the following commands.
Device# configure terminal Device(config)# banner motd $ Enter text message. End with character '$'. Welcome to ICX!$ Device(config)#
