Examples

Example-1: The following data model configures various banners related to legal usage; apic_gui_banner_message displays a custom informational or legal banner on the APIC GUI login page. The switch_cli_banner and apic_cli_banner are shown when connecting to the fabric switches and controllers respectively using SSH or Telnet (if available). Please note that a new line is represented by \n. Finally, the apic_gui_alias helps identify which APIC controller you are currently viewing in a multi-APIC cluster environment.
