Configuring Banner Messages
Example 5-3 shows how to configure a banner message that displays every
time a user logs in to the router CLI. Note that the character used to begin
and end the message is the percentage sign (%) in the example, but it can be
any character that does not appear in the text of the message. The other type
of banner commonly used in Cisco IOS configurations is the “message-ofthe-
day” banner, which is configured with the banner motd command.
Example 5-3 Configuring a Login Banner
