Nexus 5K and 7K banner

[Difan Zhao]

Hi experts,

When I ssh or telnet to my Nexus switches, it first displays messages configured in "banner motd". Then it will prompt for "login:" and "password". Then it will display something like:

"

Is that something I can replace with my own messages? I can't find it in "show run all". Can't use "banner" command to change it either...

Thanks,

Difan

Hi Difan

It's not possible to remove the banner.

Nexus follows GPL requirements and prints it every time you login.

HTH,

Thanks for the confirmation Alex.
