Customizing the opening banner
You can customize the banner that appears when you connect to the switch. You can customize the
text that reads AVAYA. However you cannot customize the second line that reads Enter [Ctrl]
+y to begin.
The Banner Control feature provides an option to specify the banner text. If you choose not to
display the banner, the system enters the ACLI command mode through the default command
interface. You do not have to press the Ctrl+y keys.
The Banner display that you select is used for subsequent console sessions. For executing the new
mode in the console, you must logout. For Telnet access, all subsequent sessions use the selected
mode.
