According to the above-mentioned configuration methods, there are two types of user
interfaces:

interface.
Note:
For Quidway series switches, AUX port and Console port are the same one. There is
only the type of AUX user interface.
User interface is numbered in the following two ways: absolute number and relative
number.
1) Absolute number, following the rules below.
AUX user interface is numbered as the first interface designated as user interface
0.
VTY is numbered after AUX user interface. The absolute number of the first VTY is
incremented by 1 than the AUX user interface number.
2) Relative number, represented by "+ number" assigned to each type of user
interface. It follows the rules below:
Number of AUX user interface: AUX 0.
Number of VTY: The first VTY interface is designated as VTY 0, the second one is
designated as VTY 1, and so on.
