Modifying the Text Display Before Login
By default, the switch does not display any text before the login prompt for any CLI session.
At initial bootup, the switch creates a pre_banner.txt file in the /flash directory. The file is empty and
may be edited to include text that you want to display before the login prompt.
For example:
Please supply your user name and password at the prompts.
login : user123
password :
In this example, the pre_banner.txt file has been modified with a text editor to include the Please supply
your user name and password at the prompts message.
The pre-banner text cannot be configured for FTP sessions.
To remove a text display before the login prompt, delete the pre_banner.txt file (it will be recreated at the
next bootup and will be empty), or modify the pre_banner.txt file.
