Your concerns are reasonable, however, cisco is big, they're majorly profitable, and they have access to the best lawyers money can buy. If futurewei / huawei were ripping them off, we'd hear about it pronto. This should be good news to us, that another company is making products that we can use with only a short learning curve. If the router and switch CLI is similar to IOS, great. Back a few years, when IBM 370 assembly language was king-boss of the hill, companies like NCR (Comten) used a 370-like command set to market their products. Things like this happen all the time. We should celebrate that we're already familiar with the user interface for futurewei. Unless I hear otherwise from the lawyer types, I'm going to pursue any and all products that are cisco-like, inexpensive, etc., in addition to the tried-and-true cisco equipment I already use. -- TT Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=49801&t=49778 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
