Ending a Junos XML Protocol Session and Closing the Connection

When a client application is finished making requests, it ends the Junos XML protocol session by emitting the <request-end-session/> tag within an <rpc> tag element:

In response, the Junos XML protocol server emits the <end-session/> tag enclosed in an <rpc-reply> tag element and a closing </junoscript> tag:

<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="URL"><end-session/></rpc-reply></junoscript>

The client application waits to receive this reply before emitting its closing </junoscript> tag:

</junoscript>

For an example of the exchange of closing tags, see Closing the Junos XML Protocol Session.

The client application can then close the SSH, SSL, or other connection to the Junos XML protocol server machine. Client applications written in Perl can close the Junos XML protocol session and connection by using the Junos XML protocol Perl module described in Writing Junos XML Protocol Perl Client Applications. For more information, see that chapter.

Client applications that do not use the Junos XML protocol Perl module use the routine provided for closing a connection in the standard library for their programming language.
