Securing OpenConfig Telemetry Connections

It is assumed that your infrastructure is set up with a gNMI client. Its configuration is beyond the scope of this document.

Configuring a port for the gNMI server to listen on enables securing incoming connection.

  1. Navigate to the device's Configuration Terminal context.
    SLX#
    SLX# config terminal
    SLX (config)# 
  2. Navigate into the gNMI Server context.
    SLX (config)# gnmi server
    SLX (config-gNMI-server)#
                        
  3. Configure a secure port on which to listen to incoming connections.
     SLX (config-gNMI-server)# secure-port 48151
    SLX (config-gNMI-server)#
                        

The gNMI server will start listening to incoming connections on port number 48151
