Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
set system services jpagent
The Junos REST API is managed by the 'jpagent' (Junos Plugin Agent) service. It must be enabled under the 'system services' hierarchy for REST API requests to function.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
set system services api-daemon
Why it's wrong here
api-daemon is not a valid Junos CLI statement for enabling the REST API.
- ✗
set system services netconf
Why it's wrong here
This enables the NETCONF service, which uses port 830 and a different protocol.
- ✗
set system services rest http
Why it's wrong here
The correct configuration hierarchy for the REST API uses jpagent, not a direct rest http keyword.
- ✓
set system services jpagent
Why this is correct
Enabling jpagent starts the Junos REST API daemon.
