... what exactly is the question?

If you're referring to the "configured from console by console" line, that's easy. That simply states that the config was just recently altered due to a command originating from the console line, by a user known as "console." If you had logged on with a username of "john", the line would then read, "configured from console by john"... I think.

If your asking what feature sets are included in that version of IOS, visit;

I think they may have been asking what this was as well: 00:05:00: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I

And if not...well...someone tell me.

I see thats probably the time but then whats the % symbol and the SYS-5-CONFIG_I break down to mean?

00:05:00: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console

The 00:05:00 is the system uptime, by default the messages are logged via the uptime.

The %SYS would indicate the source of the message (others could be %OSPF, %BGP and so on)

The 5 indicates the message severity in this case 5 is a Notification (lower number is more severe)

0 Emergencies System is unusable
1 Alerts Immediate action needed
2 Critical Critical conditions
3 Errors Error conditions
4 Warnings Warning conditions
5 Notifications Informational messages
6 Informational Normal but significant conditions
7 Debugging Debugging messages

The CONFIG is just the type of message

You will get the above message anytime you exit out of config mode.

Here is an example of an EIGRP message:

Mar 7 07:19:17.895: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 10: Neighbor 199.1.28.3 (FastEthernet0/0) is up:

In ths case the first part is the Date and time (due to the "service timestamps loge datetime" command, the source id DUAL (from EIGRP) level 5 NBRCHANGE is the type of message, and the details follow the ":"
