Information

Sets the banner message for the ASDM access

Rationale:

Configuring banner is an additional security safeguard to protect the device. In fact, banners are deterrent controls meant to discourage attackers by letting them know that their access is illegitimate and the possible consequences of going further.

Solution

Run the following command to set the ASDM banner where <line_of_message> is a line of the banner text.

HOSTNAME(CONFIG)#BANNER ASDM <line_of_message>

Repeat the command for each line if the banner text has several lines.
