Is it expected?

Hey @ksator ,

yes, it is. What you try to print is the version of the GNMI running on the destination node (CVP in your case). GNMI 0.7.0 is one the most wide spread these days.

For example here is the output from Nokia SR OS:

A:pygnmi_dev@dev-pygnmi-sros-001# show system grpc

Please, let me know if further information is needed.
