Displaying Operational Mode Fields in XML

To write op scripts, you must gather information about the JUNOS XML version of operational mode commands and output fields. You can do this by consulting the JUNOS XML API Operational Reference.

Another very useful tool is the | display xml command:

user@host> operational-mode-command | display xml

For example:

user@host> show interfaces terse | display xml 

<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/7.6I0/junos">

    <interface-information 
xmlns="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/7.6I0/junos-interface" junos:style="terse">

        <physical-interface>

            <name>dsc</name>

            <admin-status>up</admin-status>

            <oper-status>up</oper-status>

            </physical-interface>

            <physical-interface>

                <name>fxp0</name>

                <admin-status>up</admin-status>

                <oper-status>up</oper-status>

                <logical-interface>

                    <name>fxp0.0</name>

                    <admin-status>up</admin-status>

                    <oper-status>up</oper-status>
