:orphan:

.. This page is to provide the top page for the CLI reference.
   On the other hand, it looks better that the top level document has
   direct links to individual pages for better navigation.
   From that reason, :orphan: is needed to silence sphinx warning.

CLI reference
=============

There are two CLIs which support the Networking API:
:doc:`neutron CLI <neutron>` and
`OpenStack Client (OSC) <https://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/>`__.
OpenStack Client provides the basic network commands and
python-neutronclient provides :doc:`extensions <osc_plugins>` (aka OSC plugins)
for advanced networking services.
