node(cfg)#system hostname node
node(cfg)#system location “Wiring Closet, 3rd Floor”

Setting the system banner
The system banner is displayed on all systems that connect to your SmartNode via Telnet or a serial connection
(see figure 13). It appears at login and is useful for sending messages that affect administrators and operators,
such as scheduled maintenance or system shutdowns. By default no banner is present on login.
To create a system banner use the
banner command followed by the message you want displayed. If the ban-
ner message has to be formed out of more than one word the information is enclosed by double quotes. Adding
the escape sequence “\n” to the string forming the banner creates a new line on the connected terminal screen.
Use the
no banner command to delete the message.
