3Com 5500-SI Switch User Manual


 
User Interface Configuration 43
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.
User Interface
Configuration
Tasks for configuring the user interface are described in the following sections:
Entering User Interface View
Configuring the User Interface-Supported Protocol
Configuring the Attributes of AUX (Console) Port
Configuring the Terminal Attributes
Managing Users
Configuring Redirection
Entering User Interface View
Use the
user-interface command 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 respectively.
Perform the following configuration in System View.
Configuring the User Interface-Supported Protocol
The following command is used for setting the supported protocol by the current user
interface. You can log in to the Switch only through the supported protocol. The
configuration becomes effective when you log in again.
Perform the following configurations in User Interface (VTY user interface only) View.
By default, the user interface supports Telnet and SSH protocols.
If the Telnet protocol is specified, to ensure a successful login through Telnet, you
must configure the password by default.
If SSH protocol is specified, to ensure a successful login, you must configure the local
or remote authentication of username and password using the
authentication-mode scheme command. The protocol inbound ssh
configuration fails if you configure authentication-mode password and
authentication-mode none. When you configure SSH protocol successfully for the
user interface, then you cannot configure
authentication-mode password and
authentication-mode none any more.
