This course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with the Junos operating system and to configure Junos devices. The course then delves into foundational routing knowledge and configuration examples including general routing concepts, routing policy, and firewall filters. Students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring basic device operations.
In this course, you will be introduced to the design and architecture of the Junos operating system (Junos OS)—the operating system used on Juniper’s routing, switching, and security portfolio. This course will explore the Junos OS command line interface (CLI) for configuring, managing, and monitoring Junos OS-powered network devices. The J-Web interface will also be examined as the graphical use interface (GUI) option for configuring, managing, and monitoring Junos OS devices. You will then be shown initial system configuration tasks and some basic interface configuration. A brief overview of Juniper hardware and software products will also be provided.
In this course, we will explain basic routing concepts including routing policy, routing and forwarding tables, routing instances, and Junos OS routing configuration basics. This course will also explain the concepts and configuration basics of user authentication, the various types of interfaces found on network devices, archiving configurations, configuring and analyzing system logging and tracing, and configuring SNMP for collecting and organizing information about managed devices. Other operational monitoring and maintenance tasks will be explored, including password recovery and how to upgrade Junos OS.
This course will describe some advanced Junos OS concepts such as firewall filters and their use as a means of protecting a device from excessive traffic. An overview of the benefits and purpose of class of service (CoS) will be provided along with the implementation of traffic classification, queuing, and scheduling. Recommended Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) procedures will be described along with the Juniper tools available online to help manage and support Juniper products. The course will be rounded out with a discussion of Juniper security concepts and components.
