Examining the output of a show runningconfig command you not

Examining the output of a show running-config command, you notice this command:
banner login welcome to Switch12. Please prepare to login
What message will display when the switch is accessed from the console?

A. welcome to Switch12. Please prepare to login

B. welcome to Switch12

C. welcome to Sw

D. None of the above

Solution

D is correct. The first character after the banner login command becomes the delimiter. Everything following it becomes part of the banner until the delimiter is seen again. In this instance, “w” becomes the delimiter, which would make the message “elcome to S.”

A, B, and C are incorrect because everything between the delimiters (w) would be displayed, but nothing else.
