IANA defined port 9339 for gNMI / gNOI is not used as default port

[raghubk]

Hello,

Currently if gnmic command isn't provided with port#, it uses ephemeral port# 57400 as default when connecting to gNMI server.

Is gnmic going to start using 9339 as default port number when connecting to gNMI server?

You can set the port together with the address or change the default port using the config file.
As far as changing the default port to 9339, I don't see how it will help in any way. Most vendors use their own default ports (none uses 9339)

Thanks for your response.

Googling, I see few adoptions of this standard port# already.
google/gnxi#92 , Cisco

Using a standard port number for a service simplifies the usage, that is the only advantage.

I don't see any router using that port as default. I agree with that using defaults simplifies usage, that's if vendors start using it on the server side.
