The switch's Web browser interface does not display the default banner.

Banner Operation with Telnet, Serial, or SSHv2 Access

When a system operator begins a login session, the switch displays the banner
above the local password prompt or, if no password is configured, above the
Press any key to continue prompt. Entering a correct password or, if no password
is configured, pressing any key clears the banner from the CLI and displays
the CLI prompt. (Refer to figure 2-5 on page 2-9.)

Banner Operation with Web Browser Access

When a system operator uses a Web browser to access the switch, the text of
a non-default banner configured on the switch appears in a dedicated banner
window with a link to the Web agent home page. Clicking on To Home Page
clears the banner window and prompts the user for a password (if configured).
Following entry of the correct username/password information (or if no
username/password is required), the switch then displays either the Registra­
tion page or the switch's home page. Note that if the banner feature is disabled
or if the switch is using the factory-default banner shown in figure 2-5, then
the banner page does not appear in the Web browser when an operator
initiates a login session with the switch.

Configuring and Displaying a Non-Default Banner

You can enable or disable banner operation using either the switch's CLI or
an SNMP application. The steps include:
1. Enable non-default banner operation and define the endpoint delimiter
for the banner.
2. Enter the desired banner text, including any specific line breaks you
want.
3. Enter the endpoint delimiter.
