Configuring a message for display at the Privileged EXEC level
You can configure the ServerIron ADX to display a message when a user enters the Privileged EXEC
CLI level.
A delimiting character is established on the first line of the banner exec command. You begin and
end the message with this delimiting character. It can be any character except “ (double-quotation
mark) and cannot appear in the banner text. The banner text can be up to 2047 characters long
and can consist of multiple lines.
To configure the ServerIronADX to display a message when a user enters the Privileged EXEC CLI
level, enter the following command.
ServerIronADX(config)# banner exec $ (Press Return)
Enter TEXT message, End with the character '$'.

In this example, the delimiting character is $ (dollar sign). The text in between the dollar signs is the
contents of the banner.
To remove the banner, enter no banner exec.
