At the heart of the JUNOScope software are the web-based management functions provided from a Unix/Linux-based server. Using a combination of Perl, Extensible Markup Language (XML), and JUNOScript, the web server interacts with the networking equipment through the use of the APIs built into JUNOS. The JUNOScope server can also interact with remote application servers through standardized communication protocols, such as syslog, Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS), and SQL. Figure 11-1 shows an example of the JUNOScope server in a network and its interactions with network devices.
