what is the character limit for banner motd?

[eric_garnel]

New security policy is calling for a long winded message to be displayed

IOS 12.2.8 on all routers, CatOS 7.2.1 on switches

Thanks

CAT OS 7.2(1) supports maximum of 3,070 characters, including tabs.

Did not find any limitations for IOS..How big will your banner be?

[eric_garnel]

It is about a page long. haven't done a char count on it yet. I think I'll be OK with it, Thanks

you can have 255 characters per line and the most i've seen you can go is 300 lines.
