thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique five-day training camp in which students will learn how to design, implement, operate and optimize enterprise networks running the Juniper Junos OS. As with all of our Juniper Training Experiences - exams can be delivered in the classroom. Through demonstrations and hands‐on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring basic device operations. This course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with the Junos operating system and to configure Junos devices. The course provides a brief overview of the Junos device families and discusses key architectural components of the software. Key topics include user interface options with a heavy focus on the command‐line interface (CLI), configuration tasks typically associated with the initial setup of devices, interface configuration basics with configuration examples, secondary system configuration, and the basics of operational monitoring and maintenance of Junos devices. Then students move into foundational routing knowledge and configuration examples including general routing concepts, routing policy, and firewall filters. This course also provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of protocol‐independent routing features, load balancing and filterbased forwarding, OSPF, BGP, IP tunneling, and high availability (HA) features. JP-JRE: This portion of the course provides students with foundational routing knowledge and configuration examples, and includes an overview of general routing concepts, routing policy, and firewall filters. Through demonstrations and hands‐on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring basic device operations. JUNOS Enterprise Switching (JEX): This course provides students with intermediate switching knowledge and configuration examples and includes an overview of switching concepts and operations, virtual LANs (VLANs), the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), 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 and in monitoring device operations. JUNOS Intermediate Routing (JIR): This course provides you 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.
