Three steps are required to change the login banner. They are listed here.

• Create a text file containing the new banner in the switch’s flash directory.

• Add the 

 command syntax to the switch’s mpx.cmd file.

• Enable the feature by executing the 

 

 command.

To create the text file containing your banner you may use the 

 command in the UI’s 

edit buffer sub-menu. This method allows you to create the file in the flash directory without 
leaving the 

UI 

console session. You can also create the text file in an external editor (such as 

MS Wordpad) and ftp the file to the switch’s flash directory. In either case, be sure to remem-
ber the name of your file.

To add the 

 command syntax to the switch’s 

 file, use the edit 

command of the 

UI

’s 

 sub-menu. (For information on using the file sub-menu, refer to 

Chapter 7, “Managing Files”).

To enable the new login banner, add the 

 syntax to the 

 file, 

using the 

 command of the 

UI

’s 

 sub-menu. This command will cause the banner 

message to display at each login until the switch is rebooted. After a reboot, the switch will 
not display the banner unless the 

 command is executed again.

If you want the banner message to display after the system has been rebooted, you must add 
additional lines to the 

 file. The following example lists the commands you must add 

to the 

 file. This example uses a banner text file with the name 

.

♦ Note ♦

Any commands added to the 

 file must be 

added after the lines 

 and 

. If the 

commands in the 

 file are not in the proper 

order the switch may not boot properly.

You may use different banners for sessions accessed by console, Telnet or ftp methods. To do 
this, create different text files for each banner with unique filenames. When you add the 
commands to the 

, use the filenames to associate the banner with the session 

access methods. Here is an example:
