Entering/Exiting the Command-Line Interface
After logging into the router from the Console port, you will enter the user exec mode or user view in case of VRP. To enter or exit the global configuration mode or system view (VRP), use the following cisco vs huawei commands
| Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| Router> | [Huawei] |
| Enter the global mode from the user mode, first we will enter into the privileged mode by using enable command | Enter the system view from the user view |
| Router>enable Router# |
system-view [Huawei] |
| Router# indicates that you’re in privileged mode, where you can both view and change the router’s configuration. You can go back from privileged mode into user mode by using the disable command. | |
| Router#configure terminal Router(config)# |
|
| Return to the privileged mode from the global mode | Return to the user view from any system view |
| Router(config)#exit Router# |
[Huawei]quit |
| Return to the privileged mode from any other mode | Return to the user view from any other view |
| Router(config)#end Router# |
[Huawei]return |
The hot keys <Ctrl+Z> are equivalent to the end/return command in function.
Configuring Router Name
The command prompt contains a router name that can be configured as needed. Perform the following command in the global configuration mode or system view (VRP).
| Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| Router(config)#hostname Bob Bob(config)# |
[Huawei]sysname Bob [Bob] |
Configuring System Clock
Perform the following configuration in the privileged mode or user view (VRP).
| Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| Router#clock set ? HH:MM:SS Current Time |
clock datetime ? HH:MM:SS Specify the time |
| Router#clock set 12:00:00 ? Day of the Month MONTH Month of the Year |
clock datetime 12:00:00 ? YYYY-MM-DD specify the date from 2000 to 2099 |
| Router#clock set 12:00:00 1 JUN ? Year |
clock datetime 12:00:00 2014-06-01 ? |
| Router#clock set 12:00:00 1 JUN 2014 ? |
By typing the clock ? command, you’ll get a list of the next possible parameters and what they do. Notice that you should just keep typing a command, a space, and then a question mark until (carriage return) is your only option. Also notice that Router(config)#clock prompt reappears after the list of commands is displayed.
By typing c?, we will receive a response listing all the commands that start with c. Question mark (?) help works the same way in both IOS and VRP operating systems.
Configuring Header Text
Banner or Header text is the greeting information the system displays when a user connects to the router, undergoes log-in authentication or conducts interactive configuration.
| Operations | Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| Router(config)#banner ?login Set login banner motd Set Message of the Day banner |
[Huawei]header ?login Specify the login authentication banner shell Specify the start banner of session |
|
| Set banner/header text to be displayed when a user enters the user mode/view | Router(config)#banner motd | [Huawei]header shell shell-text |
| Set banner/header text for log-in authentication | Router(config)#banner login login-text | [Huawei]header login login-text |
Setting Passwords
Continue with the basic configuration of Cisco IOS and Huawei VRP, setup password on different modes/user levels
| Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| You set the enable password from global configuration mode | Perform the following configuration in the system view |
| Router(config)#enable ? password Assign the privileged level password secret Assign the privileged level secret |
[Huawei]super password ? simple Display password with plain text cipher Display password with cipher text |
| Plain Password Router(config)#enable password cisco |
Plain Password [Huawei]super password simple huawei |
| Encrypted Password Router(config)#enable secret cisco |
Encrypted Password [Huawei]super password cipher huawei |
Displaying System Information
In terms of function, you may collect these types of system status information with the show or display (VRP) command:
| Operations | Cisco IOS | Huawei VRP |
| Display system version | Router#show version | display version |
| Display system clock | Router#show clock | display clock |
| Display initial configuration | Router#show startup-config | display saved-configuration |
| Display current configuration | Router#show running-config | display current-configuration |
