Course Overview

This course is designed to provide a solid foundation to the Session and Resource Control Policy Engine (SRC-PE) when managing routers running JUNOSe software. The SRC-PE software runs on the C-series Controller. In this type of environment, the SRC-PE software typically manages residential and wireless LAN (WLAN) users. This course provides an overview of the SRC-PE architecture, which operates in a distributed environment, although you perform the labs in a local, single-system configuration.

Objectives

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the SRC-PE application and how it manages JUNOSe-based routers in a residential and WLAN environment.
  • Describe the different layers in the next-generation networking architecture.
  • Identify the products in the Juniper Networks Session and Resource Control portfolio.
  • List the open interfaces used by the portfolio components.
  • Identify C2000 and C4000 components and the field-replaceable units (FRUs).
  • Describe the purpose of the universal serial bus (USB) storage device that ships with each unit.
  • Use the SRC-PE command-line interface (CLI) and the C-Web graphical user interface (GUI) to configure and monitor a C-series Controller.
  • Explain the role of each of the various network and SRC-PE components.
  • Explain the purpose of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
  • Configure new subscribers using the SRC-PE CLI and the C-Web GUI.
  • Describe packet flow in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) environments.
  • Explain the role of the redirect server and default policies in captive portal processing.
  • Explain service activation engine (SAE) redundancy.
  • Use the SRC-PE CLI to create new policies and services.
  • Use the JUNOSe router CLI to view and troubleshoot policy configuration.
  • List the benefits of using global and local parameters within policies.
  • Describe the purpose of the interface and subscriber classification scripts.
  • Configure a wholesaler/retailer environment using shared subscriber profiles.
  • Troubleshoot configuration issues using the SRC-PE log files.
  • Describe the purpose of the DHCP classification script and DHCP profiles.
  • Configure the SRC-PE to support DHCP network access.
  • Describe the purpose of the network information collector (NIC).
  • Describe the purpose of internal and external plug-ins.
  • Modify the default internal plug-in configuration using the SRC-PE CLI.
  • Configure dynamic subscriber interfaces on the JUNOSe router.
  • Configure the SRC-PE to manage dynamic subscriber interfaces.
  • Configure the SRC-PE from a factory-default configuration.
  • Test and troubleshoot the new SRC-PE environment.

Intended Audience

This course is intended for technical network professionals responsible for the integration, configuration, and management of the SRC-PE software.

Course Level

This is an intermediate-level to advanced-level course designed to provide a strong foundation for configuring the SRC-PE software and understanding how it manages JUNOSe-based routers.
