Configuring CLI Parameters
Detailed Steps
Examples
The following example shows how to add a message-of-the-day banner:
hostname(config)#
banner motd Welcome to $(hostname).
hostname(config)#
banner motd Contact me at admin@example.com for any
hostname(config)#
banner motd issues.
Customizing a CLI Prompt
The CLI Prompt pane lets you customize the prompt used during CLI sessions. By default, the prompt
shows the hostname of the ASA. In multiple context mode, the prompt also displays the context name.
You can display the following items in the CLI prompt:
Command
Purpose
banner
{
exec
|
login
|
motd
}
text
Example:
hostname(config)# banner motd Welcome to
$(hostname).
Adds a banner to display at one of three times: when a user first connects
(message-of-the-day (
motd
)), when a user logs in (
login
), and when a user
accesses privileged EXEC mode (
exec
). When a user connects to the ASA,
the message-of-the-day banner appears first, followed by the login banner
and prompts. After the user successfully logs in to the ASA, the exec
banner appears.
To add more than one line, precede each line by the
banner
command.
For the banner text:
•
Spaces are allowed, but tabs cannot be entered using the CLI.
•
There are no limits for banner length other than those for RAM and
flash memory.
•
You can dynamically add the hostname or domain name of the ASA by
including the strings
$(hostname)
and
$(domain)
.
•
If you configure a banner in the system configuration, you can use that
banner text within a context by using the
$(system)
string in the
context configuration.
cluster-unit
(Single and multiple mode) Displays the cluster unit name. Each unit in a
cluster can have a unique name.
context
(Multiple mode only) Displays the name of the current context.
domain
Displays the domain name.
hostname
Displays the hostname.
