About CLI syntax

[Iwawa]

Hi,

I need supply some GSM4352PA Switches to my customer and since they are also configurable via CLI, the customer's IT manager asks me if the syntax used is the same as that of CISCO.

I contacted the NETGEAR support and was told that they are "CISCO LIKE"; however, despite my insistence, I could not understand if LIKE means "SIMILAR" or "EQUAL."

There is a big difference!!!

Thanks to those who can give me some clarification..

Best Regards

Grab the M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches, M4300 Series Switches, M4300-96X Mod... and share it with your customer.

It's similar in the sense that trained admins and operations staff will be able to handle it.  Like Alcatel-Lucent, Aruba, Dell, Huawei, HPE, Juniper, FS, or ZTE just to mention a few.

For certain citizens, it's never the same, because it does not come with a Cisco label and price tag, Cisco' bedding for a warm and cozy sleep, and hoping that nobody was ever fired for buying Cisco over other brands.

Said this: Netgear Fully Managed Switches https://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/managed/ are warranted for their lifetime, as long as the original bona fide end user continues to own or use the product, maximum for five years after the announced EoL.
