Currently, configuring a IOS XE 17.6 Router, this device is being used in a Testing/non-production environment. So at the moment, it's going through a lot of different versions of the config for the certain benchmarks to get fails/passes.
What we've found is each time we load a back-up through HTTP, or through directly copy pasting the config into Conf T, we find that the delimiter grows each time, so the end-result is:
banner exec ^CCCC
Authorised Users Only! ^C
banner login ^CCCC
Authorised Users Only! ^C
banner motd ^CCCC
Pass Config ^C
Even when setting the delimiter to be | (pipe):
banner motd |
Pass Config |
We still find this, as when it is saved into the running-config, it is saved as:
banner motd ^C
Pass Config ^C
Can't find a place to report it directly, and cannot find this reported on Cisco Bug Search Tool. I assume this affects multiple Cisco versions, that do not save the user set delimiter, and don't register it's own default delimiter. (Assuming this is due to it being 2 characters)
