Hi Everyone

I recently worked on an interesting 3 month contract where the client migrated his existing Cisco network completely to a new Huawei network.  It wasn't a big site.  50 - 100 users,  but they ran one of the fastest super computers in the world on prem. So, very interesting.  We completed the migration in two months and had a month to monitor.  Some fiber cabling had to be installed by ourselves, but that was just 5 cables, the rest was done by the cabling company.  We had some help from Huawei regarding the Firewall config and the eSight server.  I will list the BOM below.  It was such a fun project.  The only Cisco product to remain was the router.  I obtained my HCIA WLAN while doing this project but sadly failed my R&S.  Will keep trying still.


Huawei kit


12 x CloudEngine S5736-S Series Multi-GE Switches

20 x AirEngine 5760-10 Access Point

AC6508 Access Controller

HiSecEngine USG12000 Series AI Firewall

eSight Server



Cisco kit


12 x 3560G

20 x Aironet 2800 AP's

5508 WLC

ASA Firewall


I hope to be part of more projects like this in the future.


Let me know what you think


interesting project, you can remove the cisco router also and directly terminate the ISP connection on the firewall.

is there any specific use for that cisco router? is it provided by ISP or what?

I think they kept the router for peace of mind. The Huawei resource did suggest directly terminating to the firewall. I believe this probably happened after my contract expired sadly
