Multi-Line Banner Support
Overview
Multi-Line Banner support enables you to configure banner messages spanning multiple lines.
Options to Configure Multi-Banner Message
Two options to facilitate the configuration of multi-line banner messages:
• Use escape character sequences within the CLI to format the banner message with appropriate line breaks and indentation. Supported escape character sequences enable flexible alignment and multi-line message display.
The supported escape characters are:
Table P-2:
Characters | Description |
\" | double quote |
\' | single quote |
\‘ | forward quote |
\\ | backslash |
\f | form feed |
\n | newline |
\r | carriage return |
\t | horizontal tab |
\v | vertical tab |
• Specify a local file containing the banner message. The content of the file is retrieved and displayed as the banner message
Multi-Banner Message Commands
banner motd file URL
Use this optional command to set the multi-line banner messages of the day (motd) at login. To set a customized or default message of the day, use
banner motd command.
Use the no parameter to not display a banner message at login.
Note:
• Users are responsible for aligning the text of the banner. For instance, when using the "banner motd LINE" or "banner motd FILE" options, the alignment of the banner message output matches the alignment of the banner message input provided by the user.
• When using the banner motd file option, consider the following:
• The file must be available locally, and users must specify the file name along with the path during configuration.
• Users are responsible for ensuring the correct file type, as there are no restrictions regarding the type of file allowed.
