Changing Configuration Information

This chapter explains how to use the Junos XML management protocol along with Junos XML or command-line interface (CLI) configuration statements to change the configuration on a routing, switching, or security platform configuration. The Junos XML protocol <load-configuration> tag element and its attributes correspond to configuration mode commands in the Junos OS CLI, which are described in the Junos CLI User Guide. The Junos XML tag elements described here correspond to configuration statements, which are described in the Junos OS configuration guides.
