domain name is the value set by the ip domain-name global configuration command. If there is a
period (.) in the host name, the IOS software looks up the IP address without appending any default
domain name to the host name.
To remove a domain name, use the no ip domain-name name global configuration command. To remove
a name server address, use the no ip name-server server-address global configuration command. To
disable DNS on the WMIC, use the no ip domain-lookup global configuration command.
Displaying the DNS Configuration
To display the DNS configuration information, use the show running-config privileged EXEC
command.
Creating a Banner
You can configure a message-of-the-day (MOTD) and a login banner. The MOTD banner appears on all
connected terminals at login and is useful for sending messages that affect all network users (such as
impending system shutdowns).
The login banner also appears on all connected terminals. It appears after the MOTD banner and before
the login prompts.
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this section, refer to the Cisco IOS
Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for Release 12.2.
Default Banner Configuration
The MOTD and login banners are not configured.
Configuring a Message-of-the-Day Login Banner
You can create a single or multiline message banner that appears on the screen when someone logs into
the WMIC.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a MOTD login banner:
