Follow this command with one or more blank spaces and a delimiting character of your choice. Then enter one or more lines of text, terminating the message with the second occurrence of the delimiting character.
An incomingconnection is one initiated from the network side of the router. Incoming connections are also called reverse Telnet sessions. These sessions can display MOTD banners and incoming banners, but they do not display EXEC banners. Use the no motd-banner line configuration command to disable the MOTD banner for reverse Telnet sessions on asynchronous lines.
When a user 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.
Incoming banners cannot be suppressed. If you do not want the incoming banner to appear, you must delete it with the no banner incoming command.
The following example sets an incoming connection banner. The pound sign (#) is used as a delimiting character.
banner incoming #This is the Reuses router.#
