In this recipe, we will outline how to enable the NETCONF protocol on Junos OS devices. This task is critical since we will use the NETCONF API in all the future recipes to manage the Juniper devices. The NETCONF API provides several advantages compared to the traditional SSH access method, and that is why we will use it in all our interactions with the Junos OS devices.
