Why is it important to use HTTPS when interacting with Junos automation APIs?

To allow the API to use XML format

To increase the speed of API requests

To enable the use of basic authentication

To encrypt the data transmitted between the client and the device

A DevOps team is building a script that uses the Junos REST API to automate configuration changes on production routers. The script will run from a central management server. Which authentication method should be used to ensure secure, non-interactive access while minimizing the risk of credential exposure?

HTTP basic authentication with the admin username and password in the script

SSH key authentication using the root account

Client certificate authentication with a self-signed certificate

API token authentication with a token scoped to the required permissions

A security audit reveals that API tokens used for Junos REST API access are stored in plaintext in configuration files. The team needs to improve security without disrupting existing automation. Which approach should be taken?

Use environment variables or a secrets manager to store API tokens.

Switch to basic authentication with usernames and passwords.

Disable API access and use CLI commands instead.

Embed the tokens directly in the automation scripts.

What is the purpose of the operation in NETCONF?

To modify the configuration on the device

To retrieve operational state data

To retrieve the running configuration from the device

To establish a secure session with the device
