we need more information on what is the device model and IOS code running 

it works :

(config)#banner login ^ testing ^C
(config)#

(config)#do show run | in banner
banner login ^C testing ^C

Can you post the below output :

(config)# banner ?  ( see what option you have)

Thanks for the response.

Its switch 2960-24TT.I have MOTD banner option alone.

in Packet Tracer some commands do not work on switch but do work on Router; try banner login  on L3 sw or router.

banner login does not work in c2960 in PT. 

Always. check command options and availability with help of "? "

no problem, Remember Packet tracer from Cisco Net Academy is a simulator build to mimic behavior of real IOS but it is not real IOS.

not all features and commands are supported, and from those that are supported, behavior is not exactly the same as real ios.

It is excellent tool at CCNA level but not for more advanced stuff and beyond CCNA. For real IOS behavior you can try: GNS3 uses real router IOS, CML uses virtual IOS.
