What two statements correctly describe the REST API on Junos devices? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe REST API is enabled by default on Junos devices.
• BThe REST API supports GET requests.
• CThe REST API supports DELETE requests.
• DThe REST API supports both HTTP and HTTPS.

• A
  8% (2)
• B
  76% (19)
• D
  16% (4)

Explanation

REST API on Junos supports the full suite of standard HTTP methods, including GET (to retrieve configuration or operational data) and DELETE (to remove configuration elements), making B and C correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because the REST API is not enabled by default - it must be explicitly configured under system services rest on the device.
• D is incorrect because Junos REST API uses HTTPS only by default (port 3443); HTTP support is a separate, optional configuration and is not available out of the box.

Memory tip: Think of Junos REST API as a locked HTTPS door - you have to unlock it (enable it manually), and when you open it, you get the full HTTP method toolkit (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) - but only over HTTPS unless you go out of your way to add HTTP.
