Juniper Exam JN0-223 Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

In Junos automation, several processes handle API requests, and understanding which process handles what is crucial:

jsd Process:

XML API Calls (A): The jsd process is responsible for handling XML API calls, which are a significant part of Junos automation. XML API allows for structured and standardized communication with Junos devices, enabling automation scripts to query and configure devices.

JET API Requests (C): The jsd process also handles JET (Junos Extension Toolkit) API requests. JET provides a more modern, programmable interface for interacting with Junos OS, and jsd is the process that manages these interactions.

mgd Process (Incorrect Option):

Not for JET API Requests: The mgd process handles general management operations, such as CLI commands and managing the configuration database, but it does not handle JET API requests. That role is fulfilled by jsd.

mod Process (Incorrect Option):

Not for XML API Calls: The mod process deals with managing chassis components and is not involved in handling XML API calls.
