Operational responses are responses to requests for information about routing platform status. They correspond to the output from CLI operational commands as described in the JUNOS command references.
The JUNOS XML API defines response tag elements for all defined operational request tag elements. For example, the JUNOScript server returns the information requested by the <get-interface-information> tag element in a response tag element called <interface-information>, and the information requested by the <get-chassis-inventory> tag element in a response tag element called <chassis-inventory>.
The following sample response includes information about the interface called ge-2/3/0. The namespace indicated by the xmlns attribute contains interface information for the initial version of JUNOS Release 9.3. (Note that the opening <interface-information> tag appears on two lines only for legibility.)
<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/9.3R1/junos">
<interface-information \
xmlns="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/9.3R1/junos-interface">
<physical-interface>
<name>ge-2/3/0</name>
<!- - other data tag elements for the ge-2/3/0 interface -??->
</physical-interface>
</interface-information>
</rpc-reply>
