If a Junos XML tag element is returned within an
corresponding configuration element is not documented in the Junos OS configuration
guides or officially supported by Juniper Networks. Most often, the enclosed element is
used for debugging only by support personnel. In a smaller number of cases, the element
is no longer supported or has been moved to another area of the configuration hierarchy,
but appears in the current location for backward compatibility.
For reference pages for the
tag elements, see the Junos XML API Operational Reference.
