3Com Switch 8800 Configuration Guide 

Chapter 4  User Interface Configuration

 

4-1 

User interface configuration is another way provided by the switch to configure and 

manage the port data. 

The Switch 8800 supports the following configuration methods: 

z 

Local configuration via the Console port and AUX port 

z 

Local and remote configuration through Telnet on Ethernet port 

z 

Remote configuration through dialing with modem via the AUX port. 

According to the above-mentioned configuration methods, there are three types of user 

interfaces: 

z 

Console user interface 

Console user interface is used to log in the switch via the Console port. A switch can 

only have one Console user interface. 

z 

AUX user interface 

AUX user interface is used to log in the switch locally or remotely with a modem via the 

AUX port. A switch can only have one AUX user interface. The local configuration for it 

is similar to that for the Console user interface. 

z 

VTY user interface 

VTY user interface is used to telnet the switch. A switch can have up to five VTY user 

interface. 

User interface is numbered in the following two ways: absolute number and relative 

number. 

The user interfaces for IP PBX fall into three types and they are sequenced as follows: 

console interface (CON), auxiliary interface (AUX) and virtual interface (VTY). A switch 

has one CON, one AUX and multiple VTYs. The first absolute number is designated as 

0; the second one is designated as 1; and so on. This method can specify a unique user 

interface or a group of interfaces. 

It follows the rules below. 

z 

Console user interface is numbered as the first interface designated as user 

interface 0. 

z 

AUX user interface is numbered as the second interface designated as user 

interface 1.
