banner problem catalyst 6509e

[rjust1965]

hi,

i trie to put in a banner on a catalyst 6509e. there is no error message at all. the banner i trie to put in works on other switches without problems.

but when i look at the config the banner entry is empty:

!
banner exec ^C
^C
banner login ^C
^C
!

the only that is different to all other switches is that this switch is in a VSS bundle.

(s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-VM), Version 12.2(33)SXI, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

any ideas, bug or ???, regards Reinhold.
