 ## 7. gNSI, bootz and gNMI interoperation
 
 Configuration affected by a gNMI `SetRequest` is defined to be Dynamic
-Configuration.  THe term ‘Dynamic’ is used because this configuration is
+Configuration.  The term ‘Dynamic’ is used because this configuration is
 expected to be modified while the NOS is running.   Security configuration is a
 special case of dynamic configuration and is managed by gNSI.  Configuration
 necessary to boot and make a factory default NOS manageable by gNMI is defined
 as bootz configuration.
 
-bootz configuration items can be expressed as OC, NY and CLI. Bootz defines an
-order (or precedence) to apply the configuration name spaces to the NOS.  The
-order is dynamic configuration, followed by bootz configuration, followed by
-gNSI configuration.

+configuration, followed by gNSI configuration.  That is, first apply dynamic
+configuration, then apply the boot_config (set by bootz) which may override
+dynamic configuration. Finally, apply gNSI configuration which may override
+dynamic and boot_config.

+Note that bootz may [configure gNSI values](https://github.com/openconfig/bootz/blob/e0eb604d8e7e089ecf0d4553cce79de769328173/proto/bootz.proto#L132-L134).
+This is treated as gNSI config, using the gNSI interface.  The order of
+config application still follows the dynamic -> boot_config -> gnsi order.
+
+A common operational scenario is to update the bootconfig of an otherwise
+fully operational device that contains dynamic, boot_config and gnsi
+configuration.  In this example, gnoi.BootConfig.SetBootConfig contains a
+boot_config which replaces the boot_config on the device.  The preexisting
+dynamic and gnsi configurations are untouched.  When the device reboots,
+the order of config application follows the dynamic -> boot_config -> gnsi
+order.
 
 When enabled, gNSI and bootz each reserve exclusive write access to the
-configuration items they manage.  gNSI pathz may also be used to restrict read
-access.  Since bootz specifies the use of native configuration, the target MUST
-define, out of band, which configuration items are in scope of bootz which will
-no longer be accessible to gNMI, regardless of origin.

 When a gNMI replace or union_replace operation is performed, the gNSI and bootz
 configuration items MUST not be affected.  If an openconfig path or `cli`
