Operational requests are requests for information about routing platform status, and correspond to the CLI operational mode commands listed in the JUNOS software command references. The JUNOS XML API defines a request tag element for many CLI commands. For example, the <get-interface-information> tag element corresponds to the show interfaces command, and the <get-chassis-inventory> tag element requests the same information as the show chassis hardware command.
The following sample request is for detailed information about the interface called ge-2/3/0:
<rpc>
<get-interface-information>
<interface-name>ge-2/3/0</interface-name>
<detail/>
</get-interface-information>
</rpc>
