Can someone please show me how to add a banner "welcome" message to a router??

Is it conf t? to add it and is it one line at a time that I need to add or can I add the entire message by typing it in and cntl z, write? Here's the message I'd like to insert.

*****Your contact number is (123)456-7890

*****Welcome to the Parks Network!

The syntax for the banner command is:

banner motd {char} {banner text} {char}

where the char is the delimiting character..

you can configure

config t

Banner motd #

Thank you Narayan, Once I add this message and save it, how do I go in and modify or remove phone number or name?

Just Edit the phone number in your notepad. Then re paste your message again. In you configuration the # is the breaker. As long as you have no # within your message before the last character which marks the end of message, you should be fine
