Synopsis
banner motd delimiter message delimiter
no banner motd
Configures
The banner that is displayed before the login prompt
Default
None
Description
This command specifies the message
that is
displayed as the
Message Of The Day, the very first message
displayed to an incoming connection. This command defines only the
message; the motd-banner
command enables or
disables the display. The delimiter
marks
the beginning and the end of the message; it may be any character
that isn’t used in the message.
Example
The following commands create a message-of-the-day banner and enable its display:
Router(config)#banner motd # All routers will be rebooted at Sunday 10AM #
Router(config)#motd-banner
The motd-banner
command isn’t strictly
necessary, since the display is enabled by default. To disable the
display, use the no
motd-banner
command:
Router(config)#no banner motd
