 Not to defend 3Com or anything, but all of their enterprise stuff (for quite 
 a few years now) has an extremely similar CLI to IOS.  Came out very shortly 
 after they got involved with Huawei.
 If you're already familiar with 3com enterprise gear, check out the 4200G 
 series for cheap L2 gig switching.


3Com's CLI is just different enough from Cisco's so they won't get sued.

show interface = display interface

write mem = save

no ip address = undo ip address etc.

All in all we've been fairly happy with the higher end gear (5500EI, 5500GEI).
