The Routing and Switching (Juniper) course is designed to provide learners with a deep understanding of Juniper Networks’ routing and switching technologies, preparing them to build, configure, and manage modern enterprise and service provider networks. This course focuses on Junos OS, Juniper’s powerful and flexible network operating system, widely used for its reliability, security, and scalability.
This program introduces participants to the core concepts of networking using Juniper devices, emphasizing practical configuration, verification, and troubleshooting skills. Learners gain hands-on experience with Juniper routers, switches, and virtual labs, covering both foundational and advanced topics required for efficient network deployment and maintenance.
The course aligns with Juniper Networks certification paths, including JNCIA (Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate) and JNCIS (Juniper Networks Certified Internet Specialist), helping students prepare for globally recognized credentials.
1. Introduction to Junos OS
Learn the architecture, features, and command-line interface (CLI) of Junos OS, including operational and configuration modes, hierarchical configuration, and commit operations.
2. Fundamentals of Routing and Switching
Understand how Juniper devices perform routing and switching, covering packet forwarding, routing tables, interfaces, and VLAN management.
3. Routing Protocols
Gain practical knowledge of configuring and troubleshooting dynamic routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP, ensuring efficient and scalable network communication.
4. VLANs and Layer 2 Switching
Explore VLAN creation, trunking, spanning-tree alternatives, and Layer 2 security features to optimize data flow in switched networks.
5. IPv4 and IPv6 Implementation
Master IP addressing, subnetting, and configuration of IPv6 routing on Juniper devices, ensuring networks are future-ready.
6. Policy and Firewall Filters
Learn how to control routing decisions, apply policies for traffic management, and implement firewall filters to enhance security.
7. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Understand MPLS concepts, label-switched paths (LSPs), and how Juniper devices use MPLS for traffic engineering and VPN services.
8. Network Security and IPsec VPNs
Configure IPsec tunnels for secure communication and understand Juniper’s security features for data protection across public networks.
9. Monitoring and Troubleshooting
Develop essential skills in using Junos operational commands, monitoring tools, and logs to diagnose and resolve network issues effectively.
