Huawei H3C Cisco Command Equivalents: VRP and Comware CLI

Network engineers who learned Cisco IOS and then sit down in front of a Huawei VRP or H3C Comware switch usually find the CLI oddly familiar — Comware was historically derived from the same command family as VRP, and both vendors borrowed the IOS concept of hierarchical modes. The differences are systematic rather than random: enable becomes system-view, show becomes display, no becomes undo and write memory becomes save. This article gives the practical mapping table that makes the transition painless.

Command Mode Equivalents

• Cisco enable / privileged EXEC → Huawei/H3C user view (<HUAWEI>).
• Cisco configure terminal → Huawei/H3C system view (system-view), prompt [HUAWEI].
• Cisco interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 → interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 (identical syntax).
• Cisco exit/end → quit / return.
• Cisco ? help and tab completion → identical.

The Core Command Mapping

VLAN and Interface Configuration Side by Side

Access port configuration on all three platforms follows the same shape, differing only in the keywords:

! Cisco IOS
SW1(config)# vlan 10
SW1(config-vlan)# name servers
SW1(config)# interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
SW1(config-if)# switchport mode access
SW1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10

! Huawei VRP
[HUAWEI] vlan 10
[HUAWEI-vlan10] name servers
[HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type access
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port default vlan 10

! H3C Comware
[H3C] vlan 10
[H3C-vlan10] name servers
[H3C] interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type access
[H3C-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port access vlan 10

The key trap: Huawei uses port default vlan while H3C uses port access vlan for the same access-port concept, and trunk allowed lists differ as port trunk allow-pass vlan (both) with Huawei's port trunk pvid vlan versus H3C's native VLAN handling. Our H3C vs Huawei command comparison covers these differences in full, and the VRP side-by-side reference adds the detail IOS migrants need.
