Course Overview

This course is an instructor-led course that covers the configuration of system and protocol-related features for the Juniper Networks M-series and T-series platforms. This class is a combination of lecture and lab to allow ample time for hands-on exposure to the JUNOS software configuration-mode and operational-mode analysis of protocol operation.

Objectives

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

• Perform initial configuration on M-series and T-series platforms.
• Describe the basic functionality of the RIP routing protocol and how to configure it on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.
• Use the routing policy within JUNOS software to control routes within the routing and forwarding tables.
• Describe the basic functionality of the OSPF routing protocol and how to configure it on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.
• Describe the basic functionality of the IS-IS routing protocol and how to configure it on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.
• Describe the basic functionality of the BGP routing protocol and how to configure it on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.
• Describe the concept of traffic engineering and how to configure MPLS on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.
• Describe how packet filtering can control the flow of IP packets and provide security within the Juniper Networks M-series and T-series platforms.
• Configure and monitor IP multicasting on a Juniper Networks M-series or T-series platform.

Intended Audience

The primary audiences for this course include the following:

• Personnel who are unfamiliar with Juniper Networks M-series and T-series platform configuration;
• Internet engineers; and
• Network operations center engineers.

The secondary audiences for this course include the following:

• Juniper Networks and partner sales representatives;
• Juniper Networks and partner systems engineers; and
• Juniper Networks employees (such as hardware engineers, software engineers, and TAC engineers).

Course Level

This is an intermediate-level course designed to provide an in-depth exposure to general configuration and routing protocol operation to prepare students for the more advanced courses available in the Juniper Networks training curriculum.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for this course include the following:

• A basic familiarity with the JUNOS software CLI;
• TCP/IP basics;
• Link-state routing protocols, including a familiarity with either OSPF or IS-IS;
• Operation of BGP4 and knowledge of the BGP4 mandatory attributes; and
• General interdomain routing issues.

While not required, familiarity with some type of UNIX system is helpful.
