Follow this command with one or more blank spaces and a delimiting
character of your choice. Then enter one or more lines of text, terminating
the message with the second occurrence of the delimiting character.

appears first, followed by the login banner and prompts. After the user logs in
to the device, the EXEC banner is displayed.

$(token)
in the message text to customize the
banner. The tokens are described in the table below:
