Training description

This training, which has been developed for 2 days, examines and studies the routing mechanisms that can be used on devices running Junos. During lectures and practical exercises, students will improve their skills in configuring and monitoring of static routes, dynamic routes using OSPF, BGP, IS-IS and RIP protocols. In addition, load balancing mechanisms, IP traffic tunneling principles, fault tolerance technologies will be analyzed.
During the laboratory works, students will increase experience in configuring different routing domains and implementing additional routing mechanisms on Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways devices.

Intended Audience

This training will be useful for technical specialists who configures and maintenances multiple routing domains on network devices running Junos.

Expected students’ skills and knowledge

To complete this training, students will need a basic understanding of the OSI model and network protocols (TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP). In addition, it is recommended to have experience with Junos in the course of Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) and Junos Routing Essentials (JP-JRE) courses.
