Ok remember what console messages are? Think about those execpt for people telneting in? Are you reading a CCNA book? Are you using the Lamelle book? Seems like you are... He doesn't go into very deep detail about what they are but I think they are pretty simple. I suggest that you grab a copy of Packer Tracer (or if you have routers or switches do the same thing) and set one up. That is what I have been doing to make the things stick...

I actually had mine set up to say that "if I am reading this, my config worked"

I thought it was funny...

I set mine up with witty things like "this is an exec banner" and "this is an incoming banner" and "this is a motd banner" ... etc.

Then I logged into the router various ways and confirmed they showed up when and where expected.

Google R us. LOL. Google really is an excellent resource. I use it all the time. Anytime there is something you do not know, want to know, want to review, just google it. You will definitely find something.

The login banner is a message that is displayed before you login to the router.

The exec banner is a banner that you see after successfully logging into the router. Meaning, once you have logged in. See example:

# Hello, this is a MOTD Banner #

Hello this is my login banner you will get a funny message once you have logged in

Router> enable
Password:

Hey, hey, hey FAT Albert here! You have entered privileged-exec mode

Router#

I hope my example helps and gives you a laugh

LOL
