gnmic-set: Replace the value of a path to match the contents of a json file.
$ gnmic -a ${ip:port} set --replace-path ${path} --replace-file ${filepath}
try on your machine

The command "gnmic -a ${ip:port} set --replace-path ${path} --replace-file ${filepath}" is using the gnmic tool to send a "set" request to a specific IP address and port.

Here's a breakdown of the different components in the command:

  • gnmic: This is the name of the tool or command being executed.
  • -a ${ip:port}: This specifies the target IP address and port to which the request will be sent. The ${ip:port} part is most likely a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual IP address and port.
  • set: This keyword indicates that the request being sent is a "set" request. It's one of the common operations in many network management protocols to modify or update the configuration or state of a device.
  • --replace-path ${path}: This specifies the path or location where the configuration or state change needs to be applied. The ${path} part is likely another placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path.
  • --replace-file ${filepath}: This indicates that the new configuration or state information will be provided in a file. The ${filepath} part is again a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path.

Overall, this command is used to send a "set" request to a specific IP address and port, with the intention of replacing the configuration or state at a specific path with the contents of a file.
