Configure Banners
You can add a banner to give users helpful information before or after
logging in. You can configure the following types of CLI session banners:
- A banner for a session that displays before login.
- A banner for a session that displays after login.
When no optional parameters are specified, the command configures a
banner for a CLI session that displays before login. A CLI banner can have a maximum size of
24 rows with 79 columns of text.
-
To add a banner to your switch:
Issue the configure banner
command. When you specify the acknowledge parameter, users must
press a key to get the login prompt.
This configures the banner string to
be displayed for CLI screens.
-
To clear a configured banner:
Use the unconfigure banner { after-login |
before-login } command.
-
To disable the acknowledgement feature (which forces the
user to press a key before the login screen displays):
Issue the configure banner
command, omitting the acknowledge parameter.
-
To display the banners that are configured on the
switch:
Issue the show banner { after-login |
before-login } command.
