gnmic

gnmic is a command line tool used for interacting with network devices using the gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol. gNMI is an industry-standard protocol for network management and telemetry, developed by Google, that enables efficient and secure communication between network devices and management systems.

gnmic provides a simple and flexible way to configure and monitor network devices. It supports various operations like getting, setting, subscribing, and deleting the configuration or state data of network devices. It can be used to retrieve operational data from devices, configure settings, troubleshoot network issues, and perform other management tasks.

gnmic uses the gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) framework to establish a connection and exchange messages with network devices. The tool supports authentication and secure communication using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.

It offers a command line interface (CLI) with user-friendly commands and options for interacting with network devices. The CLI allows users to easily navigate and interact with the device's data model, which defines the structure and organization of the configurable and operational data.

gnmic is an open-source tool and is available on various platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can be easily integrated into existing network management systems or used as a standalone tool for network device management and monitoring.
