User Interface Index; Common User Interface Configuration - 3Com E4500-24 Cli Configuration Manual

User Interface Index

Two kinds of user interface index exist: absolute user interface index and relative user interface index.
1) The absolute user interface indexes are as follows:
The absolute AUX user interfaces are numbered 0 through 7.
VTY user interface indexes follow AUX user interface indexes. The first absolute VTY user
interface is numbered 8, the second is 9, and so on.
2) A relative user interface index can be obtained by appending a number to the identifier of a user
interface type. It is generated by user interface type. The relative user interface indexes are as
follows:
AUX user interfaces are numbered from AUX0 to AUX7.
VTY user interfaces are numbered VTY0, VTY1, and so on.
Switch 4500 support Fabric. A Fabric can contain up to eight devices. Accordingly, the AUX user
interfaces in a Fabric can be numbered from AUX0 to AUX7, through which all the console ports of the
units in a Fabric can be identified. Refer to the XRN Fabric part for information about Fabric.
