Configuring a Message-of-the-Day Banner Chapter 1 Setting Up the ACE You can include tokens in the form $(token) in the message text. Tokens will be replaced with the corresponding configuration variable. For example: • $(hostname)-Displays the hostname for the ACE during run time. • $(line)-Displays the tty (teletypewriter) line or name (for example, "/dev/console", "/dev/pts/0", or "1"). To use the $(hostname) in single line banner motd input, you must include double quotes (") around the $(hostname) so that the $ is interpreted as a special character at the beginning of a variable in the single line. For example: switch/Admin(config)# banner motd #Welcome to "$(hostname)"...# Do not use the double quote character (") or the percent sign character (%) as a delimiting character in a single line message string. For multi-line input, double quotes (") are not required for the token because the input mode is different from the single line mode. When you operate in multi-line mode, the ACE interprets the double quote character (") literally. The following example shows how to span multiple lines and uses tokens to configure the banner message: switch/Admin(config)# banner motd # Enter TEXT message. End with the character Welcome to Admin Context Hostname: $(hostname) Tty Line: $(line To replace a banner or a line in a multi-line banner, use the no banner motd command before adding the new lines. To display the configured banner message, use the show banner motd command in Exec mode as follows: host1/Admin# show banner motd 1-14 Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Administration Guide OL-11157-01
