11. The information handling system of claim 3 , where the one or more processing devices are configured to execute the learning and knowledge building step to: collect and parse the CLI response data received from the given network device to determine if additional CLI response data is needed; and interrogate the given one of the network devices over the network to elicit and receive additional CLI response data from the network device.
3. An information handling system, comprising: one or more processing devices configured to execute a network management system (NMS) that includes an ontology-based command line interface (CLI) knowledge model; where the one or more processing devices of the information handling system are configured to be communicatively-coupled across a network to one or more network devices of a networking system; where the one or more processing devices are configured to execute the NMS to maintain and administer the networking system using the ontology-based CLI knowledge model; where the ontology-based command line interface (CLI) knowledge model includes one or more domain categories, each of the domain categories including multiple concepts therein that are interlinked with other concepts in the same or different domain category of the ontology-based CLI knowledge model to define the relationship between the separate interlinked concepts; and where the ontology-based CLI knowledge model comprises an ontology build module, the one or more processing devices are configured to execute the ontology build module as one or more ontology build steps that comprise: a seed learning step where build parameter information is received by the ontology build module, a learning and knowledge building step for CLI command structure and network device behavior where each given one of the network devices is interrogated over the network to elicit and receive a response from the given network device describing one or more of the CLI characteristics it possesses, and a CLI knowledge model creation step where the one or more CLI characteristics received from each given network device is organized as CLI data to create a CLI knowledge model.
