aaa authentication banner - showing up, with connection to aaa.

Hello,

I have setup a switch with aaa authentication that is setup. I have the configuration set like this:

aaa new-model
!
!
aaa authentication banner ^CC

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 The ACS Server is not available at the moment

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^C
aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local
aaa authentication enable default enable
aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ none
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 0 default start-stop group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group tacacs+
!

With this configuration i can log-in into the switch with my aaa information/account. But i still receive the banner that the ACS is not available.

I have the same configuration on a different switch and there i do not see the banner when i login:

So this is he problem switch:

login as: user
CC

Where could this problem reside?

Hello,

your 'sucess' banner should be configured with:

aaa authentication banner delimiter-string delimiter

your 'failure' banner should be configured like this:

aaa authentication fail-message delimiter-string delimiter

I would delete the banner you have currently configured and re-enter everything using the above commands...

Hello,

Thanks for the response. i will configure the future configs like this.

Just weird that another switch with the same configuration does not give me this message.
