Which two are the primary automation tools handled by the management process (mgd)?
The Junos management daemon (mgd) is the central hub through which CLI, NETCONF, and REST API sessions are processed — it maps incoming client requests to the underlying Junos XML API/RPC calls, validates them against the configuration schema, and executes them against the candidate/active configuration database. NETCONF sessions connect directly to mgd, and REST API requests are also funneled through mgd after being translated into Junos XML API calls. In contrast, SNMP is serviced by a separate SNMP process (snmpd), and JET (Juniper Extension Toolkit) API requests are handled by a distinct process, jsd (JET service daemon), rather than by mgd.
