====== Cisco - Configuration - Configure Banners ======

There are different banners:

  * **MOTD banner**:  Will be displayed when attaching to the router, regardless of how you access the router.
  * **Exec banner**:  Displayed when an EXEC process (line activation or incoming connection to a VTY line) is created.
    * When starting a user exec session through a console port, exec banner will be activated.
  * **Login banner**:  This banner is displayed after the MOTD banner but before the login prompts.
    * Typically, this banner is used to display a permanent message to the users.
