Abstract

A method for executing a command line interface (CLI) command by receiving a hyper text transport protocol (HTTP) comprising the CLI command from a controller, extracting the CLI command from the HTTP request, and executing, by a network device, the CLI command to generate a populated model comprising results generated from executing the CLI command. The method also executes the CLI command by converting the populated model into a JSON format using a JSON engine to obtain a JSON result; encapsulating the JSON result in a JSON Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and transmitting the JSON RPC as a HTTP response to the controller.
