User interface configuration is another way provided by the Switch to configure
and manage the port data.
Switch 5500 Family supports the following configuration methods:
Local configuration through the console port
■
Local and remote configuration through Telnet or SSH through an Ethernet
■
port
Remote configuration through a dial-up modem through the console port.
■
According to the above-mentioned configuration methods, there are two types of
user interfaces:
AUX user interface
■
AUX user interface is used to log in to the Switch through the console port. A
fabric can have up to eight AUX user interfaces.
VTY user interface
■
VTY user interface is used to Telnet to the Switch. A Switch can have up to five
VTY user interfaces.
For SW5500 family Switches, AUX port, and console port are the same port. There
is only the one type of AUX user interface.
The user interface is numbered by absolute number or relative number.
To number the user interface by absolute number:
The AUX user interface is the first interface — user interface 0. The number
■
ranges from 0 to 7.
The VTY is numbered after the AUX user interface. The absolute number of the
■
first VTY is the AUX user interface number plus 1. The number ranges from 8
to 12.
To number the user interface by relative number, represented by interface +
number assigned to each type of user interface:
AUX user interface = AUX 0.
■
The first VTY interface = VTY 0, the second one = VTY 1, and so on.
