The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter describes the Cisco Nexus 1000V commands that begin with the letter B.
To configure a message of the day (MOTD) banner, use the banner motd command.
banner motd [ delimiting-character message delimiting-character ]
no banner motd [ delimiting-character message delimiting-character ]
|
|
The MOTD banner is displayed on the terminal before the login prompt whenever you log in.
The message is restricted to 40 lines and 80 characters per line.
To create a multiple-line MOTD banner, press Enter before typing the delimiting character to start a new line. You can enter up to 40 lines of text.
Follow these guidelines when choosing your delimiting character:
This example shows how to configure and then display a banner message with the text, “Testing the MOTD”:

To enable automatic copying of boot image files to the standby supervisor module, use the boot auto-copy command. To disable automatic copying, use the no form of this command.
|
|
When automatic copying of image files is enabled, the Cisco NX-OS software copies the image files referred to by the boot variable to the standby supervisor module. These image files must be present in the local memory on the active supervisor module. For kickstart and system boot variables, only those image files that are configured for the standby supervisor module are copied.
This example shows how to enable automatic copying of boot image files to the standby supervisor module:

To configure the boot variable for the kickstart image, use the boot kickstart command. To clear the kickstart image boot variable, use the no form of this command.
boot kickstart [ filesystem: [ //directory ] | directory ] filename [ sup-1 ] [ sup-2 ]
Configures the kickstart boot variable for both supervisor modules.
|
|
The kickstart boot variable is used for loading software images when booting up. You must copy the kickstart image to the device before you reload.
This example shows how to configure the kickstart boot variable for both supervisor modules:
This example shows how to configure the kickstart boot variable for the active supervisor module:
This example shows how to clear the kickstart boot variable:

To configure the boot variable for the system image, use the boot system command. To clear the system image boot variable, use the no form of this command.
boot system [ filesystem: [ //directory ] | directory ] filename [ sup-1 ] [ sup-2 ]
Configures the system boot variable for both supervisor modules.
|
|
The system boot variable is used for loading images when booting up. You must copy the system image to the device before you reload.
This example shows how to configure the system boot variable for both supervisor modules:
This example shows how to configure the system boot variable for the sup-1 supervisor module:
This example shows how to clear the system boot variable:
