Introduction to User Interface
Supported User Interfaces
H3C S5500-EI series Ethernet switch supports two types of user interfaces: AUX and VTY.
Table 1-1 Description on user interface

Description
AUX
Users logging in through
the Console port
Console port
Each switch can accommodate
one AUX user.
VTY
Telnet users and SSH
users
Ethernet port
Each switch can accommodate
up to five VTY users.
As the AUX port and the Console port of a H3C series switch are the same one, you will be in the AUX
user interface if you log in through this port.
User Interface Number
Two kinds of user interface index exist: absolute user interface index and relative user interface index.
1) The absolute user interface indexes are as follows:
z
AUX user interface: 0
z
VTY user interfaces: Numbered after AUX user interfaces and increases in the step of 1
2) A relative user interface index can be obtained by appending a number to the identifier of a user
interface type. It is generated by user interface type. The relative user interface indexes are as
follows:
z
AUX user interface: AUX 0
