Operating Juniper Networks Routers in the Enterprise (OJRE)

Course No: EDU-JUN-OJRE

Length: Four days

Cost: $2,700 (US) Schedule and Registration

Course Overview

This four-day course is an introductory-level, instructor-led course that focuses on installation, configuration, operational analysis, and troubleshooting considerations of Juniper Networks routers in the enterprise. OJRE introduces Juniper Networks Enterprise Routing platforms including both M-series and J-series models. It then focuses on router configuration using both the J-Web graphical user interface (GUI) and the JUNOS software command-line interface (CLI). Real-world configuration and operational monitoring case studies are provided for general router configuration and for RIP, static, and OSPF routing. The class also provides an overview of common services such as the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), the Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP) and Network Address Translation (NAT).

The course combines both lecture and labs, with significant time allocated for hands-on experience with J-series platforms and JUNOS software. The OJRE class is an excellent way to prepare students for attending other offerings in the Juniper Networks training curriculum.

Objectives

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot J-series platforms.

Intended Audience

The primary audiences for this course are end users of J-series platforms, which include the following:

  • Network engineers;
  • Support personnel;
  • Reseller support; and
  • Others responsible for implementing Juniper Networks Enterprise Routing products.

Course Level

OJRE is an introductory-level course.

Prerequisites

The OJRE prerequisite is a basic understanding of the TCP/IP protocols.

While not required, familiarity with the command-line interface of a routing platform or UNIX system is helpful.
