3.8.1. Using Banners
The system provides three different
banners
; text that is output as messages to the user:
The Message Of The Day banner (MOTD), displayed upon connection to the
system, or when a console login attempt has timed out
The Login banner, displayed before the first “Username:” login prompt
The Exec banner, displayed upon successful login
All of the above are configured in a similar manner, using the
banner
command:
banner
[
motd
]
banner
banner
exec
banner
banner login
banner
The banner text can be either a single line or multiple lines. The first character of the text
defines a
delimiter character
; the actual text of the banner then follows and ends at the first
appearance of the delimiter character. The delimiters are not included in the actual text.
Example 6. Configuring Banners
First configure the MOTD (Message Of The Day) banner, which, in this case is multi-line.
* is used as delimiter character, but any printable character that
isn’t used in the message is
usable:
myDevice#
configure terminal
myDevice(config)#
banner motd *
Enter TEXT message.
End with the character '*'.
It spans multiple lines.
And one more. But now it ends.*
Then the Login and Exec banners. Both are single-line. Note how different delimiters are
used in each banner:
myDevice(config)#
banner login XThis is myDevice.X
myDevice(config)#
banner exec ”WARNING: Produ
ction system. Be
careful.”
myDevice(config)#
end
Inspect configuration:
myDevice#
show running-config
Building configuration...
banner motd "
It spans multiple lines.
and one more but now it ends. "
banner exec "WARNING: Production system. Be careful "
banner login "This is myDevice "
hostname myDevice
username admin privilege 15 password none
!
vlan 1
Test it: Log out, then log in again:
myDevice# exit
It spans multiple lines.
and one more but now it ends.
Press ENTER to get started
This is myDevice
Username: admin
Password:
WARNING: Production system. Be careful
