gNMI Dial-Out via Tunnel Service

Release 7.6.1

This feature uses the tunnel service to allow the router (tunnel client) to dial out to a collector (tunnel server). After the session is established, the server-client switch directions where a server can act as a client to request gNMI services without altering the gNMI semantics. With this feature, the management software automatically learns when a new device is introduced in the network, thus saving you the manual, offline effort required to ensure the device connects to the management software.

This feature introduces the keyword tunnel to the grpc command.
