Description

Overview:

This three-day course provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of protocol-independent routing features, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, routing policy, IP tunneling, load balancing, high availability (HA) features, VRRP, and IPv6. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring Junos OS and monitoring device operations. This course uses Juniper Networks vSRX Series Services Gateways for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running Junos OS. This course is based on Junos OS Release 23.4R1.

Prerequisite(s):

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should have working experience with Junos CLI or have taken the Introduction to the Junos Operating Systems (IJOS) course prior to attending this class.

Audience:

Network engineers, technical support personnel, reseller support engineers, and others responsible for implementing and/or maintaining the Juniper Networks products covered in this course.
