Explanation: A banner is a message presented to a user who is using the Cisco switch. The type
of banner you configured for use determines when this message is shown. You can configure
three main types of banners on your Cisco switch they are Message of the Day
(MOTD),Login,Exec.
Notice that each of the banner lines ends with a “Z” symbol; this is a delimiter to identify the end
of the message. You can specify any character you want, but the character you choose is the one
you will use to end the banner message. Here is what these messages look like when you connect
to the switch.
