The first reason is that a lot of modern network operating systems are based on Linux. Some use a custom command line interface, or CLI, which means that they don't look like Linux, but they, in actual fact, run on Linux. And some network operating systems allow you to drop down into a Linux shell. Some are just pure Linux. Here are three examples. We have a Nexus 9000v, so "show version." Notice this is a Nexus operating system switch, 9000. Here an Arista EOS switch, and here is a Cumulus switch. These three switches are running in Junos 3. So through the CLI, off of the Nexus 9000, we see our typical Cisco command, such as "configure terminal." But we can also use this command: "run" and "run bash shell."
