JUNOS automation scripts automate network and router management and troubleshooting. Automation scripts can perform any function available through the remote procedure calls (RPCs) supported by either of the two application programming interfaces (APIs): the JUNOS Extensible Markup Language (XML) API and the JUNOScript API.

Automation scripts allow you to do the following things:

Diagnose and fix network problems automatically.
Monitor the overall status of a routing platform.
Customize the output of operational mode commands.
Reconfigure the routing platform to avoid or work around known problems in the JUNOS software.
Change the router’s configuration in response to a problem.
