What's the meaning of MEth0/0/1?

I use the [Huawei]display interface brief command for display the interfaces of Quidway AR2220, get bellow data:

...
GigabitEthernet0/0/22       down  down        0%     0%          0          0
GigabitEthernet0/0/23       down  down        0%     0%          0          0
GigabitEthernet0/0/24       down  down        0%     0%          0          0
MEth0/0/1                   down  down        0%     0%          0          0
NULL0                       up    up(s)       0%     0%          0          0
Vlanif1                     up    down        --     --          0          0
Vlanif10                    down  down        --     --          0          0

But I don't know what's the MEth0/0/1 interface.

Management Interface

Management interfaces are used to manage and configure a device. You can log in to the S5700 through a management interface to configure and manage the S5700. Management interfaces do not transmit service data.

The S5700 provides a console interface and an MEth interface as the management interface.

Hi, friend. the S5700 reverse side have two possible ports is the MEth interface, I think one of them is it, one is console port, and the other named ETH-link , can you tell me which is ? – 244boy – 2018-10-25T07:36:57.447

I'm afraid i do not know. My answer is based on a simple search. it may be worth joining the Huawei support forums for more in-depth detail to your query. – Kinnectus – 2018-10-25T08:06:08.340

Almost certainly MEth0/0/1 is the ETH-Link port. The serial port would not appear in a 'display interface'. The serial port is a console device and only provides shell/CLI access to the machine with a serial port adapter. – Andy – 2018-10-25T10:06:18.983

@244boy I believe the last sentence quoted answers your question "a console interface and an MEth interface"; since you've identified one as a console port, the other is presumably the "MEth interface", which would be consistent with the letters "ETH" in the label, and presumably the shape of the socket. – IMSoP – 2018-10-25T13:26:54.300
