I last played with Huawei routers about 10 years ago and it looked very much like IOS. Interesting that they have changed. Also interesting that you don't like Alcatel's TiMOS - I prefer it to IOS, and find it comparable to Junos. I suppose we all have our own tastes...
Huawei looks very much like IOS, except many of the commands were renamed. Someone mentioned a reason to me, but I don't know if it was true, so I won't repeat it. IOS at least supports | section, and I hear that IOS-XR and IOS-XE both have advanced configuration capabilities similar to Junos, but I don't own any of the hardware that supports those code bases. I've yet to find a router vendor I liked 100%, though. Limited feature sets, interoperability problems, bugs, and months to resolve issues and generally requiring upgrades to code that has new issues. :( But as you said, we all have our own tastes... Mine just happens to be for a non-existent company/product. Jack
