I am practicing ACI lab from cisco. I am accessing the LAB through GUI. Is there any way to use CLI command from GUI portal itself ?

There is no native way to send CLI commands from APIC GUI.

If you want to practice the APIC CLI, you can install your own APIC simulator.

 

Stay safe,

And to piggyback on what Sergiu said, CLI configuration of ACI is not advisable in production.

In my experience configuration via the CLI auto-creates many objects that are named terribly.

Also, the CLI isn't really a true shell for the device. It's an illusion of a shell or a wrapper.

It may be useful in helping learn ACI, but in practice I would stick to GUI or API calls with Python libraries or automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform.
