This 4-day bundle course covers the content of both the Junos Enterprise Switching (JEX) and Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR) courses.
JEX
This two-day course is designed to provide students with intermediate switching knowledge and configuration examples using Junos Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS).
This course includes an overview of switching concepts and operations, VLANs, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), port and device security features, and high availability (HA) features.
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos operating system (OS) and in monitoring device operations.
This course uses Juniper Networks EX4300 Series Ethernet switches for the hands-on components, but 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 21.4R1.12.
Course Level
Junos Enterprise Switching (JEX) is an intermediate-level course.
Relevant Juniper Product
• EX Series • QFX Series
JIR
This two-day 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 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 the Junos OS.
This course is based on Junos OS Release 21.1R1.11.
Course Level
Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR) is an intermediate-level course.
