How to display a text banner at login
By default, the switch displays the AlliedWare Plus OS version and build date at login. You can
customize this by changing the
Message of the Day
(MOTD) banner.
To enter a new MOTD banner, enter Global Configuration mode and enter the command:
awplus(config)#
banner motd <
banner-text
>
The text can contain spaces and other printable characters. You do not have to surround
words with quote marks.
Example
To display “this is a new banner” when someone logs in, enter the command:
awplus(config)#
banner motd this is a new banner
This results in the following output at login:
