The show stuff is certainly there but the config is a bit different. You m=
ay have to get used to using the "info" command. :)
They also use logical IP interfaces which are then tied to physical, you do=
n't directly configure L3 on a physical interface. You also have designati=
ons between service and network physical interfaces, although nowadays they=
can be set as "hybrid.".=20
It's really pretty simple if you are used to a Cisco or Juniper. They have=
tab and ? completion now for both commands as well as elements similar to =
Junos which is helpful. =20
