They who used Cisco equipment on their network system will not face any trouble in case they want to integrate with others network platform such as Huawei or Juniper. How this could happen? Basically Cisco, Huawei, Juniper etc have the similar concept on the networking and more over they have similar Command Line Interface (CLI).

It means when you will configure and troubleshoot on those network platforms you will have clear idea how it should be
The Command Line Interface (CLI) which have the similar command e.g. how to show current configuration on the router. Cisco requires command “show current-configuration” or “show config” to display the entire of current configuration. Others platform will use similar command to display the same configuration such as “display current configuration”. Cisco platform requires to type “enable” command if you want to configure the router. Most of others platform requires the same command or similar command such as “system” command. The hardware architecture almost has the same design such as modular, double power supply for high series etc
The whole configuration on the router device is referring to Cisco platform. This is benefit when we used Cisco equipment. The similar command and concept will be in others platform.
