10.4 Setting the System Banner
The system banner is displayed on all systems that connect to your SmartNode via Telnet or a serial
connection: see Figure 10-1 below. It appears at login and is useful for sending messages that affect
administrators and operators, such as scheduled maintenance or system shutdowns. By default no
banner is present on login.
To create a system banner use the
banner
command followed by the message you want displayed. If
the banner message has to be formed out of more than one word the information is enclosed by
double quotes. Adding the escape sequence “\n” to the string forming the banner creates a newline
on the connected terminal screen. Use the no banner command to delete the message.
