NETCONF and gNMI basic operations


NETCONF and gNMI protocols are commonly used for network management and telemetry collection. They enable model-driven communication between network controllers, collectors, and devices. NETCONF allows for configuration and state monitoring using YANG models, while gNMI enables real-time and on-demand telemetry. In this test, we focused on the basic operations, which usually cause interoperability issues in more complex testing, such as get-config, edit-config, commit for NETCONF and gNMI capabilities, and subscribe.
