The Extreme device can be configured to display
a greeting message on user terminals as a banner when they enter the Privileged EXEC
CLI level or access the device through Telnet/SSH.
Complete the following steps to set and display a banner.
-
In privileged EXEC mode, access global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal

You can use the no banner login
command to remove the banner.
