Question

What are two reasons network devices are typically accessed through a cli?

Answer 1

The CLI is the main, text-based interface for setup, administering, and checking network tools such as a router or a switch hub. CLI allows you to transcribe in composition commands to get the output from the router or a switch hub. The network application software recognizes the command when you input the exact characters of the command to essentially identify it, which in turn helps you check the status of your network device.
