Users and user interfaces

User interface, also called "line," allows you to manage and monitor sessions between the terminal and
device when you log in to the device through the console port directly, or through Telnet or SSH.
One user interface corresponds to one user interface view where you can configure a set of parameters, such
as whether to authenticate users at login, whether to redirect the requests to another device, and the user
privilege level after login. When the user logs in through a user interface, the parameters set for the user
interface apply.
The system supports the following CLI configuration methods:
Local configuration via the console port
•
Local/Remote configuration through Telnet or SSH
•
The methods correspond to the following user interfaces.
• AUX user interface: Used to manage and monitor users that log in via the Console port. The type of the
Console port is EIA/TIA-232 DCE.
VTY (virtual type terminal) user interface: Used to manage and monitor users that log in via VTY. A VTY
•
port used for Telnet or SSH access.
Only one user can use a user interface at a time. The configuration made in a user interface view applies to
any login user. For example, if user A uses the console port to log in, the configuration in the AUX user
interface view applies to user A; if user A logs in through VTY 1, the configuration in VTY 1 user interface
view applies to user A.
A device can be equipped with one AUX user interface and 16 VTY user interfaces. These user interfaces do
not associate with specific users. When a user initiates a connection request, the system automatically
assigns an idle user interface with the smallest number to the user based on the login method. During the
login, the configuration in the user interface view takes effect. The user interface varies depending on the
login method and the login time.
Default state
By default, you cannot log in to a device through a network
management station (NMS). To do so, log in to the device through the
console port, and complete the following configuration:
•
Configure the IP address of the VLAN interface, and make sure the
device and the NMS can reach each other (by default, your device
does not have an IP address.).
•
Configure SNMP basic parameters.
