Solved: CLI and GUI

Nader ibrahimi · ‎03-14-2025

Hello to everyone

I am wondering about Cisco interfaces.

is there any possibility that Cisco will change CLI into GUI for routers and switches?

GUI is always available.

The only difference is the number of features available using CLI is a lot more than GUI.

The new "generation" growing up, the ones who are going to "replace" us do not have the drive nor the stomach to learn CLI. They will do the work with GUI. Hence, that is what SD-WAN/SD-Access is all about: GUI.

GUI will never replace CLI 100% there are too many variables and sub-commands.

The most important CLI commands, deemed by the developers, will get "ported" to GUI.

Raising an Enhancement Request for a single command to be ported to GUI is a waste of time unless the client happens to be a "whale".
