Example: Setting the user-configurable banner message after authentication

A text message that has been configured with the banner motd command displays with the authentication prompt when a user opens a console, telnet, SSH, or WebAgent session.

The exec option of the banner command displays a user-configurable message after the user has been authenticated. If there is no password on the switch, the exec banner message displays immediately.
