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.

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:
