As a side note, that page was always poorly named anyway: better name would have "Document Hidden Commands" (commands have been hidden in IOS mainly because they were just put in by engineers for testing purposes; it's not like Cisco 'forgot' to document them). - [[User:Liberty Miller|Liberty]] 03:04, 15 September 2005 (UTC) |

CLI? (2003)
I believe Cisco's IOS is much more than just a command interface. My understanding has been that IOS is the routing software that is common to all of their router products.
The IOS Command line interface (CLI) is just one of the user interfaces through which the function of a device can be provisioned. Saying IOS is a CLI is like saying Microsoft Windows is just a Window manager.
Cisco describes IOS as: "Available on an extensive range of Cisco platforms, Cisco IOS® Software is a feature-rich, network infrastructure software that provides a common IP fabric, functionality and command-line interface (CLI) across your network."
So the CLI is only a part of IOS.
Also, any special reason to use "CIOS"? IOS is referenced simply as "IOS".
For the definitive guide to IOS, see this link [1].
Security (July 2005)
[01:47, 29 July 2005 66.202.69.194 (new section)] This article needs a section on IOS' security, esp. with the new vulnerabilities and ruckus about them. - User:66.202.69.194
Minor Update (Sept 2005)
Removing link to DTUD (DOTU?) ; this link no longer relevant, as it's not as potentially useful as it might have once been. The page was last updated 5 years ago. Any search on Google (etc.) will give you much more timely info on specific commands. As a side note, that page was always poorly named anyway: better name would have "Document Hidden Commands" (commands have been hidden in IOS mainly because they were just put in by engineers for testing purposes; it's not like Cisco 'forgot' to document them). - Liberty 03:04, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
