The commands for setting the banners are located in the Global
Configuration mode with the exception of the SHOW BANNER LOGIN
command which you access in the Privileged Exec mode.
After you enter the BANNER EXEC, BANNER LOGIN, or BANNER MOTD

this message, enter the banner message. Both the BANNER MOTD and
BANNER EXEC banners may be up to 256 characters, while the BANNER
LOGIN banner may be up to 4,000 characters. Spaces and special
characters are allowed.
After you finish entering your message, press CTRL D to return to the
command prompt in the Global Configuration mode.
