A CLI router, or Command Line Interface router, is a network device that enables the routing of data packets between different networks and devices using command-line commands for configuration and management. Users interact with the router's operating system through a text-based interface, allowing for precise control over routing protocols, security settings, and network configurations. CLI routers are commonly used in enterprise environments for their flexibility and efficiency in network management.
Configuring a physical router requires software like PUTTY. while configuring router on Software like packet tracer is done on CLI (i.e. command line interface).

SSH (Secure Shell) and Telnet
To remotely access a router's CLI session, you can use protocols like SSH (Secure Shell) or Telnet. SSH is preferred due to its encrypted connection, providing better security for remote management. You can use terminal emulation software like PuTTY, Tera Term, or command-line tools like OpenSSH to establish the connection. Ensure the router is configured to allow remote access and that the necessary ports are open.

You can enter setup mode on a router by either using the command line interface (CLI) and typing the command setup in privileged EXEC mode, or by powering on the router while holding down the CTRL and BREAK keys, which interrupts the boot sequence and allows access to the setup mode. This mode is typically used for initial configuration of the router.
