vacant-message

To display an idle terminal message, use the vacant-message line configuration command. The command enables the banner to be displayed on the screen of an idle terminal. The vacant-message command without any arguments restores the default message. The no form of this command removes the default vacant message or any other vacant message that may have been set.

vacant-message [d message d]
no vacant-message

Syntax Description

d	(Optional) A delimiting character of your choice--a pound sign (#), for example. You cannot use the delimiting character in the banner message.
message	(Optional) Vacant terminal message.

Default

The format of the default vacant message is as follows:

<blank lines>
Switch(config-line)# hostname tty# is now available
<blank lines>
Press RETURN to get started.

This message is generated by the system.

Command Mode

Line configuration.

Usage Guidelines

Follow the command with one or more blank spaces and a delimiting character of your choice. Then enter one or more lines of text, terminating the message with the second occurrence of the delimiting character.

---

Note For a rotary group, you only need to define the message for the first line in the group.

The following example turns on the system banner and displays this message.

Switch(config)# line 0
Switch(config-line)# vacant-message #

verify

To verify the checksum of a file on a Flash device, use the verify EXEC command. This command replaces the copy verify and copy verify flash commands.

verify [device:] filename

Syntax Description

device:

(Optional) Device containing the file whose checksum is being verified. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows: · bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory. · slot0: This device is the first PCMCIA slot on the ASP card. · slot1: This device is the second PCMCIA slot on the ASP card. When you omit this argument, the system verifies the checksum of the specified file on the current working device.

filename

Name of a file on the specified Flash device. The file can be of any type. The maximum filename length is 63 characters.

Default

The current working device is the default device.

Command Mode

EXEC.

Usage Guidelines

Use the verify command to verify the checksum of a file before using it. When you omit the device: argument, the system verifies the checksum of the specified file on the current working device.

Example

The following example shows how to get information and verify the test-image file using the dir and verify commands.
