Course Description
Learn switching concepts as well as how to configure and monitor Junos OS while preparing for your JNCIS-SP certification.
In this course, you will learn about switching concepts such as LANs, Layer 2 address learning, bridging, virtual LANs (VLANs), provider bridging, VLAN translation, spanning-tree protocols, and Ethernet Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (EOAM). This course also covers Junos operating system-specific implementations of integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, routing instances, virtual switches, load balancing, and port mirroring. Furthermore, you will learn about the basics of Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP), link aggregation groups (LAGs), and multichassis LAG (MC-LAG). This course uses MX Series 3D Ethernet Universal Edge Routers for the hands-on component and it is based on the Junos OS Release 12.3R1.7.
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, you will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and device operations.
