AUX user interface: A view when you log in through the AUX port. AUX port is a
line device port.
Virtual type terminal (VTY) user interface: A view when you log in through VTY.
VTY port is a logical terminal line used when you access the device by means of
Telnet or SSH.

1.2.2 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.
Note:
S5600 series Ethernet switches 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 IRF Fabric part for information about Fabric.
