Mapping Configuration Statements to JUNOS XML Tag Elements

The JUNOS XML API defines a tag element for every container and leaf statement in the configuration hierarchy. At the top levels of the configuration hierarchy, there is almost always a one-to-one mapping between tag elements and statements, and most tag names match the configuration statement name. At deeper levels of the hierarchy, the mapping is sometimes less direct, because some CLI notational conventions do not map directly to XML-compliant tagging syntax. The following sections describe the mapping between configuration statements and JUNOS XML tag elements:

• Mapping for Hierarchy Levels and Container Statements
• Mapping for Objects That Have an Identifier
• Mapping for Single-Value and Fixed-Form Leaf Statements
• Mapping for Leaf Statements with Multiple Values
• Mapping for Multiple Options on One or More Lines
• Mapping for Comments About Configuration Statements

Note: For some configuration statements, the notation used when you type the statement at the CLI configuration-mode prompt differs from the notation used in a configuration file. The same JUNOS XML tag element maps to both notational styles.
