Supported Access Protocols

To connect to the JUNOScript server, client applications can use the access protocols and associated authentication mechanisms listed in Table 9.

Table 9: Supported Access Protocols and Authentication Mechanisms

Access Protocol	Authentication Mechanism
clear-text, a JUNOScript-specific protocol for sending unencrypted text over a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection	JUNOScript-specific
SSH	Standard SSH
Outbound SSH	Outbound SSH
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)	JUNOScript-specific
Telnet	Standard Telnet

The SSH and SSL protocols are preferred because they encrypt security information (such as passwords) before transmitting it across the network. Outbound SSH allows you to create an encrypted connection to the router in situations where you cannot connect to the router using standard SSH. The clear-text and Telnet protocols do not encrypt information.

For information about the prerequisites for each protocol, see Prerequisites for Establishing a Connection. For authentication instructions, see Authenticating with the JUNOScript Server.
