Among all features and improvements, there is one for the CLI-hardened guys.
The Network Command Line Utility, or NCLU, is a command line interface for Cumulus Networks products that works just like your good old CLI interface.

- Embedding help, examples and automatic command checking with suggestions in case you’ve entered a typo
- Running directly from and integrating with bash, while being interoperable with the regular way of accessing underlying configuration files and automation
- Automatically configuring dependent feature
