what is the stability like in cumulus  what is the uI /cli like ? does it
have a nice cli ? or does it depend on openflow controlers and stuff like
that ?
 that was the one thing I was worried about when looking at 10 g
switches... 

It's bash. It's just like using a linux machine,

e.g.

# ethtool swp1
Settings for swp1:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Full
                                1000baseT/Full
                                10000baseT/Full
        Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  1000baseT/Full
                                10000baseT/Full
        Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
        Advertised auto-negotiation: No
        Speed: 10000Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        Port: FIBRE
        PHYAD: 0
        Transceiver: external
        Auto-negotiation: off
        Current message level: 0x00000000 (0)

        Link detected: yes


# ip route
default via a.b.c.d dev eth0
e.f.g.h/21 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src h.i.j.k


You write a big /etc/network/interfaces file, then run ifup -a. If
you're a Linux server person it makes a lot of sense, if you're not it's
probably utterly baffling!

The last time humans crossed space to a destination was the Apollo 17 mission
in 1972. In the 32 years since, no man has seen, with his own eyes, Earth as
that beautiful, solitary blue sphere, and - reality check - no woman has ever
                                                        seen it at all.
