[F10-nsp] E-series CLI look/feel feedback

[Mike Bennett]

Sam,

We're using an E1200 in production and we have an E-600 as a spare which 
is also used for feature testing, etc.  Our staff is mainly familiar 
with IOS/CatOS as we're about 99% Cisco here (still run legacy protocols 
e.g. appletalk/ipx).  There is very little difference between IOS and 
FTOS as far as look-and-feel, but a great deal of difference in 
stability as there are far fewer bugs in FTOS.  Bottom line - if you 
like IOS then you should also like FTOS on the E-series equipment.  I 
don't know of any open demo equipment - perhaps someone at Force10 will 
chime in.

Regards,

Mike
