Download the NET::Netconf Module and Sample Scripts

To download, uncompress, and unpack the compressed tar-format file that contains the Net::Netconf module and sample scripts, perform the following steps:

1. Access the Juniper Networks Customer Support Center Web page at http://www.juniper.net/support.
2. Click the link labeled More Software.
3. Click the link labeled XML APIs for Junos OS.
4. Click the link labeled NETCONF XML protocol Perl client.
5. On the Software Download page, click the link for the appropriate software release (for example, 10.0).
6. Click the Software tab.

   Note: The NETCONF XML protocol Perl client software should be installed and run on a regular computer with a UNIX operating system; it is not meant to be installed on a Juniper Networks device.

7. Select the appropriate release version (for example, 10.0R2.10) and click the link labeled NETCONF XML protocol Perl client.
8. Optionally, download the package containing document type definitions (DTDs).
9. Change to the directory where you want to create a subdirectory that contains the NET::Netconf Perl module and sample scripts:
   % cd perl-parent-directory
10. Issue the following command to uncompress and unpack the package downloaded in Step 7:
    • On FreeBSD and Linux systems:
      % tar zxf netconf-perl-release-type.tar.gz
    • On Solaris systems:
      % gzip -dc netconf-perl-release-type.tar.gz | tar xf

      where release is the release code (such as 6.1R1.1) and type is domestic or export. The command creates a directory called netconf-perl-release-type and writes the contents of the tar file to it.

11. See the netconf-perl-release-type/README file for instructions on unpacking and installing the Perl prerequisite modules, creating a Makefile, and installing and testing the NET::Netconf module.
