Arista EOS (OpenConfig)

Introduction

To enable Arista switches running EOS to stream telemetry data to ONES controller, API gNMI and eAPI need to be enabled

Enable API gNMI

Arista-DCS-7010T(config)#management api gnmi
Arista-DCS-7010T(config-mgmt-api-gnmi)#transport grpc default
Arista-DCS-7010T(config-gnmi-transport-default)#port 50052
Arista-DCS-7010T(config-gnmi-transport-default)#provider eos-native
Arista-DCS-7010T(config-mgmt-api-gnmi)#end

Arista-DCS-7010T#show management api gnmi
