5.1 Introduction
This section describes the concepts you need to know before you configure user management:
•
•
5.1.1 User interface view
The user interface view is a command line view that you can use to configure and manage all
the physical and logical interfaces in asynchronous mode.
User interfaces supported by the system
The system supports the following user interfaces:
•
Console port (CON)—The console port is a serial port provided by the main control unit
of the router. The main control unit provides one EIA/TIA-232 DCE console port for
local configuration by directly connecting a terminal to a router.
•
Auxiliary port (AUX)—The main control unit of a router provides the auxiliary port,
which is a line device port. The main control unit has one EIA/TIA-232 DTE AUX port,
and is used by a terminal to access the router through the modem.
•
Virtual type line (VTY)—The virtual port is a logical terminal line. A VTY is the Telnet
connection with the router through a terminal, and is used for local or remote access to
the router.
User interface numbering
The user interface numbering methods are as follows:
•
Relative numbering—The format of relative numbering is user interface type + number.
Relative numbering is used to uniquely identify a single interface or a group of user
interfaces of the same type. It must comply with the following rules:
- Number of the console port: CON 0
- Number of the auxiliary port: AUX 0
- Number of the VTY: VTY 0 for the first line, VTY 1 for the second line, and so on
•
Absolute numbering—Specifies a user interface or a group of user interfaces.
The starting number is 0 and the rest is in the sequence of CON > AUX > VTY There is
only a single console port and AUX port and 15 VTY interfaces. You can use the
user-interface maximum-vty command to set the maximum number of user interfaces.
The default number is 5.
Table 5-1 shows the absolute numbers of the user interfaces in the system.
