Banner Enhancements

types:

■ Local

■ RADIUS

■ TACACS

The enhancements are:

■ The MOTD banner size is increased to 1280 characters.

■ If the MOTD is configured, the copyright, switch identification, and software version are not

displayed on the splash screen; only the customer-defined banner is displayed.

■ When passwords are configured on the switch, there will not be a prompt to “press any key

to continue”. This prompt will still appear if a password is not configured.

Example Banner Configurations

Default Banner with No Password Configured. When the MOTD is not configured and there is

no password, the default login page displays. The information includes the switch identification,

software version, copyright statement and default banner. The “press any key to continue” prompt

displays. When any key is pressed, the banner is cleared and the CLI prompt displays.

Default Banner with Password Configured. When passwords are configured on the switch, but

the MOTD is not configured, the default login page displays. A prompt for the password appears.

After a correct password is entered, the default banner clears and the CLI prompt displays.
