The command gnmic
is a CLI (Command Line Interface) tool used to interact with network devices using the gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol. The specific command you provided is used to retrieve data from a network device.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:
gnmic
: This is the command itself, invoking the gnmic tool.-a ${ip:port}
: This option specifies the address of the network device you want to connect to. It uses the format${ip:port}
, where${ip}
is the IP address and${port}
is the port number. You need to replace${ip:port}
with the actual IP address and port of the device you want to connect to.get
: This specifies that you want to perform a "get" operation, which retrieves data from the network device.--path ${path}
: This option specifies the data path or the specific data you want to retrieve from the device. It uses the format${path}
, where${path}
is the path to the desired data. You need to replace${path}
with the actual path of the data you want to retrieve.--encoding json_ietf
: This option specifies the encoding format of the retrieved data. In this case,json_ietf
indicates that the data should be returned in JSON format following the IETF standard.
Overall, the command is used to connect to a network device, retrieve specific data from it using the gNMI protocol, and receive the data in JSON format.
