Configuring a Login Banner

You can configure a login banner to appear on all connected terminals. This banner appears after the
MOTD banner and before the login prompt.
To configure a login banner, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 banner login c message c
Step 3
end
Step 4
show running-config
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To delete the login banner, use the no banner login global configuration command.
This example shows how to configure a login banner for the WMIC using the dollar sign ($) symbol as
the beginning and ending delimiter:
bridge(config)# banner login $
Access for authorized users only. Please enter your username and password.
$
bridge(config)#

Protecting Access to Privileged EXEC Commands

A simple way of controlling terminal access in your network is to use passwords and assign privilege
levels. Password protection restricts access to a network or network device. Privilege levels define what
commands users can issue after they have logged into a network device.
For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this section, see the Cisco IOS
