The Vyatta/VyOS/EdgeOS CLI took heavy inspiration from Juniper’s JunOS, so saying the config is unlike a “real” switch is factually incorrect.
It’s still a little odd, but as somebody quite comfortable with JunOS (I run Juniper switches in my homelab) it’s pretty easy to pick up any of the Vyatta forks and hit the ground running.
