This three-day course provides introductory instruction on data center switching using Juniper products. Although this course does not cover Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN/VXLAN) architecture, it covers the baseline knowledge necessary to understand a data center that is built upon an IP fabric with an EVPN/VXLAN overlay. This course covers OSPF, BGP, routing policy, link aggregation, Ethernet switching, VLANs, load balancing, filter-based forwarding (FPF), layer 2 security features, routing instances, graceful restart, and BFD.Introduction to Juniper Data Center Networking (IJDC) is an introductory-level course.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and managing network equipment in data centers.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
The following are the prerequisites for this course: • Knowledge of basic TCP/IP networking; • Understanding basic layer 2; • Familiarity with Data Center technologies; and • Junos OS configuration experience—the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) course or equivalent
