Operating notes
• The default banner appears only when the switch is in the factory default configuration. Using
no banner motd deletes the currently configured banner text and blocks display of the
default banner. The default banner is restored only if the switch is reset to its factory-default
configuration.
• The switch supports one banner at any time. Configuring a new banner replaces any former
banner configured on the switch.
• If the switch is configured with ssh version 1 or ssh version 1-or-2, configuring the banner sets
the SSH configuration to ssh version 2 and displays the following message in the CLI:
Warning: SSH version has been set to v2.
