Understanding Banner Settings
This functionality is supported on the Aggregator.
A banner is a note that is displayed when you log in to the system, depending on the privilege level and

message-of-the-day (MOTD), as the opening quote in EXEC mode, or as the beginning message in EXEC
Privilege mode. Setting up a banner enables you to display any important information or group-level
notification that needs to be communicated to all the users of the system.
A login banner message is displayed only in EXEC Privilege mode after entering the enable command
followed by the password. These banners are not displayed to users in EXEC mode. When you connect to
a system, the message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner is displayed first, followed by the login banner and
prompts. After you log in to the system with valid authentication credentials, the EXEC banner is shown.

schedule their accessibility to the device. You can modify the banner messages depending on the
requirements or conditions.
