Configuring ACLI banner
You can configure the banner that is presented when a user logs in to the switch through ACLI

About this task
You can use the custom logon banner to display company information, such as company name
and contact information.
The banner cannot exceed 1539 bytes, or 19 rows by 80 columns plus line termination
