Operating Juniper Networks Routers in the Enterprise (OJRE)

Course No: EDU-JUN-OJRE

Course Overview

This 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.

Advanced Juniper Networks Routing in the Enterprise (AJRE)

Course No: EDU-JUN-AJRE

Course Overview

This course is an instructor-led course designed to provide enterprise network engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to use Juniper Networks routers to meet their networks' requirements. It covers advanced routing and services configurations of Juniper Networks J-series and M-series platforms, focusing specifically on advanced configurations commonly used in the enterprise environment.

Objectives

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

·         Explain how Juniper Networks routers evaluate policies.

·         Implement a stateless firewall filter to protect the Routing Engine (RE).

·         Implement both an inbound and outbound routing policy for traffic over multiple ISP connections using BGP.

·         Monitor and troubleshoot BGP sessions and policy application.

·         Successfully transition a network running a distance-vector IGP to use a link-state protocol.

·         Configure Layer 2 services, including the Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP), Multilink Frame Relay (MLFR), and the Compressed Real-Time Transport Protocol (CRTP).

·         Implement a stateful firewall to enforce a firewall policy.

·         Implement Network Address Translation (NAT).

·         With a virtual private network (VPN) design, create the VPNs between some combination of J-series and M-series routers.

·         Given a class-of-service (CoS) design, configure appropriate CoS policies.

·         List two branch-office connectivity solutions and the traffic considerations that apply to each.

·         Given a list of technical constraints, implement certain branch-office connectivity solutions.
