This command specifies a message to be displayed when an EXEC process is created (a line is activated, or an incoming connection is made to a VTY line). Use the no form of this command to delete the EXEC banner.

When someone connects to the router, the MOTD banner appears before the login prompt. After the user successfully logs in to the router, the EXEC banner or incoming banner will be displayed, depending on the type of connection. For a reverse Telnet login, the incoming banner will be displayed. For all other connections, the router will display the EXEC banner.
To disable the EXEC banner on a particular line, use the no exec-banner line configuration command.
The following example sets an EXEC banner. The dollar sign ($) is used as a delimiting character.
banner exec $ Session activated. Enter commands at the prompt. $
