CLI or command line
interface is essential for various network devices. In fact, it is one of the favoured
means of device management. When you have a highly functional command line
interface for the CLI Device Management Framework building the CLI for the users becomes easier. This is an
interface that is user friendly and is also useful for a network device
management. With this interface the end users can easily communicate with any
of the components in a computer, network device, hardware device, operating
system or application. It is considered one of the most popular management
connectivity systems throughout the world.
The method of creating
customized CLIs is quite expensive as well as it involves the usage of
customized formatter and validation software. In addition, it is a time
consuming process. On the contrary using an XML based system allows the
developers to include simple commands so that codes can be generated, regenerated,
edited and finally customized. Mostly, The CLI Device Management Interface is put to use for dealing with a complex
system and it takes less than 3 months time to develop an interface for this
end.
