You can create a single or multiline message banner that appears on the screen when someone logs in to

Step 2

Specifies the message of the day.
To delete the MOTD banner, use the no banner motd global
configuration command.
For c, enter the delimiting character of your choice, for example, a
pound sign (#), and press the Return key. The delimiting character
signifies the beginning and end of the banner text. Characters after the
ending delimiter are discarded.
Note When configuring a banner using the "#" sign as a delimeter on
Supervisor Engine 7-E and Supervisor Engine 7L-E, you must
first turn off shell processing with the no shell processing
command. Else, you can not exit from the banner configuration.
