H3C vs Huawei CLI Command Comparison: A Practical Mapping Table

2026年8月30日 LOG admin

H3C Comware and Huawei VRP share a common ancestor in the Chinese networking industry, so their CLIs look almost identical - but the differences are exactly where engineers get burned: interface naming conventions, VLAN port commands, save options and view structures. If you maintain both brands (very common in Chinese enterprise networks), this command mapping table will save you from typing the wrong command on the wrong device. Every command below is real VRP and Comware syntax, verified on Huawei S5700/CE switches and H3C S5130/S5560 switches.

System Views and Basic Navigation

Function	Huawei VRP	H3C Comware
Enter system view	`system-view`	`system-view`
Exit one level	`quit`	`quit`
Return to user view	`return`	`return`
Set hostname	`sysname SW-A`	`sysname SW-A`
Display version	`display version`	`display version`
Display current config	`display current-configuration`	`display current-configuration`
Save configuration	`save`	`save force`
Delete saved config	`reset saved-configuration`	`reset saved-configuration`
Undo a command	`undo <cmd>`	`undo <cmd>`

Interface Naming Differences (Watch Out!)

The biggest trap: the two vendors number interfaces differently.

Huawei: interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 (slot/port, subcard 0)
H3C: interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1 (frame/slot/port - first frame number is 1)
Huawei S5700 10G: interface XGigabitEthernet0/0/1
H3C 10G: interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1

For 40G ports: Huawei uses 40GE0/0/1, H3C uses FortyGigE1/0/1. Both vendors support the short form GE0/0/1 / GE1/0/1.

VLAN Configuration Mapping

Function	Huawei VRP	H3C Comware
Create VLAN	`vlan 10`	`vlan 10`
Create VLAN range	`vlan batch 10 to 20`	`vlan batch 10 to 20`
Name VLAN	`name Sales`	`name Sales`
Set access port	`port link-type access`	`port link-type access`
Assign access VLAN	`port default vlan 10`	`port access vlan 10`
Set trunk port	`port link-type trunk`	`port link-type trunk`
Allow VLANs on trunk	`port trunk allow-pass vlan 10 20`	`port trunk permit vlan 10 20`
Native VLAN on trunk	`port trunk pvid vlan 1`	`port trunk pvid vlan 1`
Show VLANs	`display vlan`	`display vlan`

Note the two classic differences: Huawei uses port default vlan, H3C uses port access vlan for the access VLAN, and Huawei uses allow-pass, H3C uses permit on trunks.

Routing and Link Aggregation

Function	Huawei VRP	H3C Comware
Static route	`ip route-static 10.1.0.0 24 192.168.1.1`	`ip route-static 10.1.0.0 24 192.168.1.1`
Default route	`ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 192.168.1.1`	`ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 192.168.1.1`
Create Eth-Trunk	`interface Eth-Trunk1`	`interface Bridge-Aggregation1`
Add member (LACP)	`eth-trunk 1` (in interface)	`link-aggregation group 1 mode dynamic`
Show routes	`display ip routing-table`	`display ip routing-table`
Show trunk	`display eth-trunk 1`	`display link-aggregation verbose`

Huawei aggregates with Eth-Trunk, H3C with Bridge-Aggregation - a very common source of confusion in multi-vendor networks.

Operational and Troubleshooting Commands

Function	Huawei VRP	H3C Comware
Ping	`ping 10.0.0.1`	`ping 10.0.0.1`
Traceroute	`tracert 10.0.0.1`	`tracert 10.0.0.1`
Interface status	`display interface brief`	`display interface brief`
MAC table	`display mac-address`	`display mac-address`
Log buffer	`display logbuffer`	`display logbuffer`
Clear interface counters	`reset counters interface`	`reset counters interface`

Translation Cheat Sheet

Huawei port default vlan ↔ H3C port access vlan
Huawei allow-pass ↔ H3C permit
Huawei Eth-Trunk ↔ H3C Bridge-Aggregation
Huawei GE0/0/1 ↔ H3C GE1/0/1 (frame numbering)
Huawei save ↔ H3C save force
