[j-nsp] NETCONF in Junos

[Luke Flemington]

Hey Martin,

I’m not sure NETCONF is involved as such, but I think that’s the general idea. From a Juniper automation doc:

> Junos management “under the hood” is based in XML. When you enter commands on the Junos CLI, commands are actually converted to XML-based Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) and executed by the Junos management daemon. The Junos configuration file is also represented as an XML file.


Regards,
Luke
