• Legal banner—Appears after the copyright or license statement. To continue login, the user must

enter Y or press Enter. To quit the process, the user must enter N. Y and N are case-insensitive.

• Message of the Day (MOTD) banner—Appears after the legal banner and before the login banner.

• Login banner—Appears only when password or scheme authentication has been configured.

• Incoming banner—Appears for Modem users.

• Shell banner—Appears for non-Modem users.

Banner message input methods

You can configure a banner by using one of the following methods:

• Single-line input

Input the entire banner in the same line as the command. The start and end delimiters for the

banner must be the same but can be any visible character. The input text, including the command

keywords and the delimiters cannot exceed 510 characters. In this mode, do not press Enter

before you input the end delimiter. For example, you can configure the shell banner "Have a nice

day." as follows:

<System> system-view

[System] header shell %Have a nice day.%

• Multiple-line input

Input message text in multiple lines. The message text can be up to 2000 characters. Use one of

the following methods to implement multi-line input mode:

{ Method 1—Press Enter after the final command keyword. At the system prompt, enter the

banner message and end with the delimiter character %. For example, you can configure the

banner "Have a nice day. Please input the password." as follows:

[System] header shell

Please input banner content, and quit with the character '%'.

Please input the password.%

{ Method 2—After you type the final command keyword, type any single character as the start

delimiter for the banner and press Enter. At the system prompt, type the banner and end the
