Hi guys,
please, think about LiSA as Cisco switch simulator which is very feature limited comparing to other Cisco Switch Simulators - Packet Tracer or Bosson.
To be honest LiSA currently supports only L2 switching and intervlan routing - for this reason I think is not suitable for people hunting Cisco SWITCH certification. The goal of my tutorial is mainly to show that some enthusiastic people can program their own Linux switch - not so powerfull as Cisco hardware switch with plenty of ASICs, but still functional.
We know that lots of standardized network protocols has been already implemented in Linux (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, LLDP, CDP, 802.1q, VRRP, RSTP, etherchannel, RADIUS, etc.) and they can help to LISA be more featured. They can be add in LiSA userspace, CLI (check wiki on LiSA webpage) and this could be a challenge all clever people to add these protocols to LiSA source.
On the other you can't find Cisco proprietary protocols (VTP, ISL, PVST+, RSTP+, HRSP, GLBP etc.) in Linux because of its proprietary nature, (except like CDP ;-).
But they can be replaced with standards which are sometimes better (802.1q, RSTP, MST) or they are not (VRRP comparing to GLBP).

see you run GNS3 on linux in your video? So is that the point to have full commands?
The full command you mentioned are probably from R1 output - it is Dynamips emulated router with NM-16SW switch module (it can do VTP and STP you miss in LiSA).

I change the duplex of the interfaces on both routers, but then they are automatically changed to half duplex, then the mismatch message was displayed again
Does it change back to half dupolex when you set both speed and duplex mode manually on both routers?
Cheers,
