Background: |
We have received user requests to improve our configuration guide, as well as feedback that some scenario descriptions of Data Communication application features within the guide are too general. Huawei has started working to improve the documentation by rewriting the text for switches. We now hope you can tell us whether we got it right by looking through the revised versions and the original versions for each feature, and voting for the ones you prefer. Your input will be invaluable as we seek to improve our documentation and serve you better! |

Here is an example from Mirroring Configuration: |
|
|
 |
|
Version 1:
1. The function-based configuration is used:
2. Observing port + Mirroring mode = Mirroring
3. Scenario-based configuration examples are retained. |
|
 |
|
Version 2:
1. The scenario-based configuration is used:
2. Two types of observing ports x four mirroring modes = Eight mirroring scenarios
3. The same redundant information exists in different scenarios. |

What you need to do: |
Compare the versions and vote for the one you prefer in the Comment Section in the following format: “Document No. + Version 1” OR “Document No. + Version 2”.
PS: We would like to invite you to vote for all the 12 features, so that you will be granted 60 bonus points. |
