Changing between network operating systems is one of the most challenging things for new engineers. Most people learned cisco cli due to their extensive training system or got on the job training for whatever their company runs.

We are hoping to make moving back and forth between network operating systems a little easier with some useful show and operational commands for Mikrotik, Juniper, Cisco, and IP Infusion. There are in detail usages of these commands on stubarea51.net.
