When someone connects to the router, the MOTD banner (if configured) appears first, followed by the login banner and prompts. 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.
The following example sets a login banner. The dollar sign ($) is used as a delimiting character.
banner login $ Access for authorized users only. Please enter your username and password. $
