Question(s): Sending Set requests for SONiC data

[chaichairiko]

Hi, I've been working on this for a week now, trying to understand the code and the relationship between the mgmt-common, mgmt-telemetry, and gnxi. I have used the different examples with openconfig that are shown in the "tests" dir with no success. I think there might be an issue there seeing that there are two semi-colons there (which seems to be contradicting to how gnxi parses the request: https://github.com/jipanyang/gnxi/blob/f0a90cca6fd0041625bcce561b71f849c9b65a8d/gnmi_set/gnmi_set.go#L62).

My question is, what is the format to send Set commands for SONiC data (Ports, interfaces, etc.) and is it possible to add the different yang models in the yang-models dir under sonic-buildimage/src also here?

This is the command I am sending (I have tried may others as well):
gnmi_set -replace /sonic-port/sonic-port:@./vlan_config.json -target_addr :8080 -target_name -alsologtostderr -insecure true -pretty

vlan_config.json -> {"PORT": {"PORT_LIST": [{"ifname": "Ethernet111" ,"index": 111}]}}
