Note
The system note feature in RouterOS allows users to assign custom text messages displayed upon login, with options to show them at CLI or FTP logins and configure their content through the
/system/notemenu or via an uploaded file.
Note
Summary
Sub-menu: /system/note
The system note feature allows you to assign arbitrary text notes or messages that will be displayed on each login right after the banner. For example, you may distribute warnings between system administrators this way, or describe what that particular router actually does. To configure the system note, you may upload a plain text file named sys-note.txt on the router's FTP server, or, additionally, edit the settings in this menu
