gnmic: Get a snapshot of the device state at a specific path.

gnmic

$ gnmic -a ${ip:port} get --path ${path}

try on your machine

The command "gnmic -a ${ip:port} get --path ${path}" is using the gnmic tool to make a GET request to a network device using the specified IP address and port.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

"gnmic": This is the command for running the gnmic tool. The gnmic tool is a command-line interface (CLI) used for interacting with network devices using the gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol.
"-a ${ip:port}": This option is used to specify the IP address and port of the network device. "${ip:port}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual IP address and port of the device. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the port is 8080, the command would look like "-a 192.168.1.1:8080".
"get": This is the operation to be performed on the network device. In this case, it specifies that a GET request is to be made to retrieve data from the device.
"--path ${path}": This option is used to specify the data path or the specific information to be retrieved from the device. "${path}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the desired information. For example, if the path is "interfaces/interface[name=eth0]/state", the command would look like "--path interfaces/interface[name=eth0]/state".

To use the command, replace "${ip:port}" with the actual IP address and port of the network device, and replace "${path}" with the desired data path.
