Having a Motd banner, or Message of the Day banner, on every switch is important because it can provide a level of security to the network. A Motd banner can help secure the network by displaying a warning message to anyone who tries to gain access to the switch. This warning message can inform users of the consequences of attempting to gain unauthorized access and can serve as a deterrent for potential attackers. Additionally, by having a Motd banner on every switch, administrators can easily ensure that all devices on the network have up–to–date warnings set.
