It works fine The cli syntax is quite similar to iOS in shape, but keywords are different You won't (almost) understand everything on the fly, reading to documentation in *not* an option (is it somewhere ?); By the way, Huawei's documentation is a bit ugly, not as versatile as Cisco's; You will have troubles to understand some features if you are "new" with these (eg protocols, techs etc). If you master these, I guess the docs will be more understable for you.
I did not used them for routing but switching, they are really performing good If you plan to buy such product, keep in mind these points: - don't mix Huawei & cisco (or anything else), you might have trouble (as you'll get with any other constuctor mix) - low cost switches seems to be less awesome that high-end products; You may get more "not working" unit; On 19/08/2014 21:34, Colton Conor wrote: > How does Huawei's Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) operating system that is > on their switches and routers compare to Cisco IOS or Juniper JunOS?
