Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR)

Course Outline

This two-day CLASSROOM course provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of protocol-independent routing features load balancing and filter-based forwarding OSPF BGP IP tunneling and high availability (HA) features.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring device operations. This course uses Juniper Networks SRX 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 the Junos OS.

Prerequisites & Audience

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also attend the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) and Junos Routing Essentials (JRE) courses prior to attending this class.

Course Objectives
