Setting announcements
You can create or modify a login message or a message of the day.
The login message appears in the Management Console Login page. You can also set the local (that is, the serial interface) and remote login message through the CLI. Examples:
• banner login-local “reminder: meeting today”

The message of the day appears in the Dashboard and when you first log in to the CLI.
