Submitting a Request to the JUNOScript Server

After establishing a connection to a JUNOScript server (see Establishing the Connection), your application can submit one or more requests by invoking the Perl methods that are supported in the version of the JUNOScript and JUNOS XML APIs used by the application:

• Each version of software supports a set of methods that correspond to CLI operational mode commands (later releases generally support more methods). For a list of the operational methods supported in the current version, see Mapping CLI Commands to Perl Methods and the files stored in the lib/JUNOS/release directory of the JUNOScript Perl distribution (release is the JUNOS software version code, such as 9.4R1 for the initial version of JUNOS Release 9.4). The files have names in the format package_methods.pl, where package is a software package.
• The set of methods that correspond to operations on configuration objects is defined in the lib/JUNOS/Methods.pm file in the JUNOScript Perl distribution. For more information about configuration operations, see Changing Configuration Information and Summary of JUNOScript Tag Elements.
