• NX-OS does not support the login command to switch users. • NX-OS does not distinguish between standard or extended access lists, all lists are named and "extended" in functionality. • NX-OS did not support scp server prior to 5.1(1) release. • In NX-OS, there is no "write" command to save the configuration like on IOS (one uses the "copy" command, instead). Instead, command aliases can be created to provide the "write" command. • When accessing NX-OS, users authenticate directly to their assigned privilege level. • SSH server is enabled while Telnet server is disabled by default in NX-OS. == Releases ==
