Affordable CLI enabled devices? Im new to networking and i've been fiddling with Cisco's Packet Tracer for students Every device has a CLI you can access via console cable or other means to configure your network Now to my dismay I've browsed through available routers and switches to discover only high end expensive devices offer these fine grained configuration facilities Question: Is there just no way to put this knowleadge to use with a lower budget? If so, I can't seem identify CLI enabled devices on the price ranges I can afford Thanks in advance

There are plenty of systems on the market that have a CLI. Some are even very close to the Cisco IOS CLI you've been learning. However, at the end of the day, ever vendor will have their own flavor of CLI. Yes, many dirt-cheap, "web-managed" products will be lacking a physical console. (a console is, after all, extra hardware that adds to the material and production costs.)

If you want to work with Cisco gear, then do so. It doesn't take "millions" to get a decent collection of routers and switches. No, you will not find current generation kit on ebay (or anywhere else) for pennies. But older, end-of-life gear can be found for sub-100$ -- _we_ know it's possible because _we've all_ bought the things.
