Trying out industry-standard commands with SONiC ~Edgecore-SONiC Edition~ (Published July 23, 2025)

So far, the OpenNetworking Blog has discussed white Box switches and SONiC, focusing on Edgecore-SONiC (hereinafter referred to as ecSONiC).
As these standards become more widespread, we have received an increasing number of requests from various customers for support for industry-standard command systems.
For this reason, ecSONiC added support for the industry-standard command system CLI in version "ec202111.10" released at the end of last year.

In this article, we will discuss the results of testing an actual device to see if basic settings for a switch can be made using this CLI.

[Points of this article]

ecSONiC supports "isCLI", an industry standard command system for configuration.

Basic functions can be configured using either the Linux CLI or isCLI.

We hope that this will broaden the reach of engineers who have been avoiding SONiC with the Linux CLI.
