CLI Snippet

CLI snippets provide a mechanism to inject raw IOS-XE command-line interface commands directly into the device configuration, extending beyond the structured data model capabilities. This feature enables administrators to configure advanced or vendor-specific features that may not yet be supported through the declarative YAML configuration model. CLI snippets serve as a bridge between structured configuration management and traditional CLI-based device configuration, ensuring complete feature coverage while maintaining the benefits of infrastructure-as-code practices.
