Requesting An Indicator For Identifiers - Juniper JUNOS OS 10.3 - XML MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL GUIDE 6-30-2010 Manual

Requesting an Indicator for Identifiers

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
To request that the Junos XML protocol server indicate whether a child configuration
element is an identifier for its parent element, a client application includes the
attribute in the opening
junos:key="key"
session, which appears here on two lines for legibility only:
<junoscript version="version" hostname="hostname" junos:key="key"
release="release-code">
For more information about the
Tag" on page 40.
When the identifier indicator is requested, the Junos XML protocol server includes the
attribute in the opening tag for each identifier. As always, the Junos XML
junos:key="key"
protocol server encloses its response in
For information about the attributes in the opening
Information from the Committed or Candidate Configuration" on page 65. In the following,
the identifier tag element is called
<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="URL">
<configuration attributes>
<!-- opening tag for each parent of the object -->
<!-- For each configuration object with an identifier -->
<object>
<name junos:key="key">identifier</name>
<!-- additional children of object -->
</object>
<!-- closing tag for each parent of the object -->
</configuration>
</rpc-reply>
The client application can include one or more of the following other attributes in the
<get-configuration/> tag or opening

Elements" on page 70

When requesting an indicator for identifiers, it does not make sense to include the
attribute in the
format="text"
"Requesting Output as Formatted ASCII Text or Junos XML Tag Elements" on page 68).
The junos:key="key" attribute appears only in Junos XML-tagged output, which is the
default output format.
The following example shows how indicators for identifiers appear on configuration
elements at the
