Configuring the gRPC telemetry server

This task configures and activates the device gRPC telemetry server.

1. In privileged EXEC mode, enter configure terminal.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Enter telemetry server, with the option of specifying a VRF other than the default mgmt-vrf.
   • (Default) mgmt-vrf
     

     device(config)# telemetry server

   • Other VRF
     

     device(config)# telemetry server use-vrf blue_vrf

3. To specify a port other than the default 50051, enter the port command.
   

   device(config-server-mgmt-vrf)# port 50000

4. Enter activate.
   

   device(config-server-mgmt-vrf)# activate

5. Verify the telemetry server status with the do show telemetry server status command. The active sessions displayed are initiated by gRPC clients with associated telemetry profiles.
   

   device(config-server-mgmt-vrf)# do show telemetry server status
   
   Telemetry Server running on port 50051, with VRF mgmt-vrf and transport as tcp.

6. Verify the telemetry server configuration with the do show running-configuration telemetry server command.
   

   device(config-server-mgmt-vrf)# do show running-configuration telemetry server
   
   telemetry server
     transport tcp
     port 50051
     activate
   !
