CLI is simply the Command Line Interface, meaning you are given a prompt to enter commands at. Set- and IOS-based CLI's appear on different families of switches. There is a third category of switches that are configured through menu choices.
I've already posted this, but in case it doesn't make it back to the original author of the thread - I tried to answer this question by listing which models of switches use which CLI, and provide a sample configuration for each. You'll find this free document at www.laganiere.net, please let me know if you find it useful...
