NMS login

By default, you cannot log in to a device through a network

management station (NMS). To do so, log in to the device through the

console port, and complete the following configuration:

• Configure the IP address of the VLAN interface, and make sure the

device and the NMS can reach each other (by default, your device

does not have an IP address.).

• Configure SNMP basic parameters.

Users and user interfaces

User interface, also called “line," allows you to manage and monitor sessions between the terminal and

device when you log in to the device through the console port directly, or through Telnet or SSH.

One user interface corresponds to one user interface view where you can configure a set of parameters, such

as whether to authenticate users at login, whether to redirect the requests to another device, and the user

privilege level after login. When the user logs in through a user interface, the parameters set for the user

interface apply.

The system supports the following CLI configuration methods:

• Local configuration via the console port

• Local/Remote configuration through Telnet or SSH

The methods correspond to the following user interfaces.

• AUX user interface: Used to manage and monitor users that log in via the Console port. The type of the

Console port is EIA/TIA-232 DCE.

• VTY (virtual type terminal) user interface: Used to manage and monitor users that log in via VTY. A VTY

port used for Telnet or SSH access.

Only one user can use a user interface at a time. The configuration made in a user interface view applies to

any login user. For example, if user A uses the console port to log in, the configuration in the AUX user

interface view applies to user A; if user A logs in through VTY 1, the configuration in VTY 1 user interface

view applies to user A.

A device can be equipped with one AUX user interface and 16 VTY user interfaces. These user interfaces do

not associate with specific users. When a user initiates a connection request, the system automatically

assigns an idle user interface with the smallest number to the user based on the login method. During the
