12 CHAPTER 1: SYSTEM ACCESS
■ Remote configuration through a modem through the console port.
There are two types of user interfaces:
■ AUX user interface is used to log in the Switch 8800 through a dial-up modem.
A Switch 8800 can only have one AUX port.
■ VTY user interface is used to telnet the Switch 8800.
For the Switch 8800, the AUX port and Console port are the same port. There is
only the 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 VTY is numbered after the AUX user interface. The absolute number of the
first VTY is the AUX user interface number plus 1.
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.
Tasks for configuring the user interface are described in the following sections:
■ Entering the User Interface View
■ Configuring the Attributes of the AUX (Console) Port
■ Configuring the Terminal Attributes
■ Managing Users
■ Configuring the Attributes of a Modem
■ Configuring Redirection
■ Displaying and Debugging User Interface
Entering the User Interface View
Use the user-interface command (see Table 2) to enter a user interface view. You
can enter a single user interface view or multi-user interface view to configure one
or more user interfaces.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
Configuring the Attributes of the AUX (Console) Port
Use the speed, flow control, parity, stop bit, and data bit commands (see
