Summary

Adds an OpenConfig/gRPC product folder with a gNMI/gNOI device driver for Itential Gateway 5, plus the supporting Platform assets.

  • Device driver (device-drivers/grpc): 32 python-script services covering gNMI Capabilities, Get, Set and Subscribe, gNOI RPCs, server reflection, and the four Config Manager broker actions (is-alive, get-config, set-config, run-command). Connection pooling is off by default.
  • Large configurations: on Gateway 5.5.3 or later, the config input of the set-config services is delivered to the driver as a file, so configurations larger than about 128 KB are supported.
  • Studio Project: gRPC Driver Test creates an inventory, runs the driver against a device, and cleans up.
  • Config Manager parser and golden configuration: the grpc parser and a sample golden config tree (example values, noted in the README).
  • Root README / Arista EOS README: adds OpenConfig to the vendor list, broadens the device-drivers description, and links the EOS page to the gRPC driver.

Testing

Tested against mock gNMI/gNOI devices on Gateway 5.5.3 and a local Platform: manifest import with iagctl db import --validate, the Studio Project end to end, and Config Manager backup and compliance with the parser and golden config.

Add an OpenConfig/gRPC product folder:

- device-drivers/grpc: Gateway 5 Python driver with 32 services covering
  gNMI Capabilities/Get/Set/Subscribe, gNOI RPCs, server reflection and
  the Config Manager broker actions (is-alive, get-config, set-config,
  run-command). Connection pooling is off by default.
- Large set-config payloads are delivered as a file on Gateway 5.5.3+,
  so configurations above ~128 KB are supported.
- Studio Project "gRPC Driver Test": create inventory, test driver,
  delete inventory, plus command templates.
- Config Manager parser (grpc) and a sample golden configuration.
- Root README: add OpenConfig to the vendor list and broaden the
  device-drivers description. Arista EOS README: point to the gRPC driver.
