Students attending this class should be able to establish, without assistance, a basic configuration for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS, and PIM. Students should also have knowledge of the JUNOS Internet software configuration syntax to the extent covered in the Configuring Juniper Networks Routers course.

(Please note that Introduction to Juniper Networks Routers (IJNR-M) class has been renamed Configuring Juniper Networks Routers (CJNR-M). This name change aligns with the increased focus on configuration and protocol theory and Isilica is proud to be offering it first in Asia)


Course Overview

This lab-intensive, hands-on, five-day course provides an advanced look at popular routing and traffic engineering protocols supported on Juniper Networks M-series and T-series platforms. The AJNR course investigates the intricacies of interior gateway protocol (IGP) operation through OSPF and IS-IS labs that engage the student in a detailed examination of the link-state database and the effects of virtually all protocol options. The complexities of large-scale routing using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are then explored, with the focus placed on scaling networks using route reflection and confederations. In addition, numerous BGP options, such as multihop, multipath, and authentication, are discussed and configured in a lab setting. The class moves on to cover advanced JUNOS software features relating to MPLS and traffic engineering. In these sections the student is exposed to detailed discussions of RSVP and LDP signaling. Additional topics include CSPF and ERO-based routing constraints, routing table integration options, and traffic protection. The final sections of the course are devoted to a detailed exploration of multicast routing protocols, such as PIM, MSDP, and MBGP, in the context of interdomain multicast topologies that permit the demonstration of advanced multicast configuration options and monitoring.

The class was recently updated to address features associated with the JUNOS software Release 6.1.
