Enter a new banner, when you are done enter a new line containing only your
chosen delimiter.
(banner-motd)# This is an example of a custom banner
(banner-motd)# that spans multiple lines.
(banner-motd)# $
switch(config)# do show banner exec

Expected results

  • Administrators can create the Exec banner
  • The output of the Exec banner looks correct
