Hate it? Needed? "Grew up" on elm and vi (someone please make a gmail addon that supports VI keys) -- CLI all the way. I will admit (grudgingly) that there are some things that a GUI is more suited for. It can be a lot easier to visualize traffic flows with graphs, etc. rather than packet counters. There is also a lot of new gear where just putting a port on a vlan and accepting un-tagged traffic becomes a 10 line config in cli. Who thought this was a good idea? Yes, I can do it with 10 clicks in the GUI, but I don't want to, I want to blow a standardized config on it, then just make a couple of tweaks. -----Original Message----- From: "borg--- via NANOG" <nanog@lists.nanog.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 6:11pm To: nanog@lists.nanog.org Cc: b...@uu3.net Subject: [NANOG] Re: The Network CLI -- Love it ? Hate it? Needed? CLI forever ;) But more seriously. CLI is great, its quick, can run on toaster and its easya automated using scripting (generate, replace, preprocess). I like CLI to the point that my docs stuff runs under CLI terminal. The GUI is only used for visualizers. I hope that CLI will stay for a long time... ---------- Original message ---------- From: Mark Prosser via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> To: nanog@lists.nanog.org Cc: Mark Prosser <m...@zealnetworks.ca> Subject: [NANOG] The Network CLI -- Love it ? Hate it? Needed? Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 15:05:33 -0400 Hi NANOG community, I posed this question in several chat groups, but I'd like to get your opinions. Do you love the CLI? Do you hate the CLI? Would you -- or do you already -- enjoy a world where you never need to touch the CLI, to manage your network? This applies to both provisioning and troubleshooting; to which, you may have different answers. So far, I've seen a variety of replies around the usual "should/must/must not/should not".
