Designed for experienced networking professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of the Juniper Networks M-series Routers, T-series Routing Platforms, and JUNOS Software, this written exam verifies the candidate's basic understanding of Internet technology and related platform configuration and troubleshooting skills.

JNCIA-M exam topics are based on the content of the Configuring Juniper Networks Routers-M (CJNR-M) instructor led training course. Just as the CJNR-M is the first class most students attend when beginning their study of Juniper Networks M-series routers (and T-series routers and JUNOS software), the JNCIA-M exam will be the first certification exam most attempt. This exam is NOT a prerequisite for the JNCIS-M exam.

The JNCIA-M is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIA-M exam.

Exam topics include: Operation, Configuration and Troubleshooting, Routing Protocols: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and RIP, Protocol Independent Routing Properties, Routing Policy, Firewall Filters, MPLS, and Multicast.

The JNCIS-M is designed for networking professionals with advanced knowledge of, and experience with, the Juniper Networks M-series Routers, T-series Routing Platforms, and JUNOS Software. The JNCIS-M exam tests for a wider and deeper level of knowledge than does the JNCIA-M exam. Sources of question content include the M-series routers (and T-series routers and JUNOS Software) documentation set, on the job product experience, as well as the understanding of Internet technologies and design principles considered to be common knowledge at the Specialist level. Passing the JNCIS-M exam is a prerequisite for attempting the JNCIP-M practical exam.

The JNCIS-M is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIS-M exam.

Exam topics include: Operation, Configuration and Troubleshooting, Routing Protocols: BGP, OSPF, and IS-IS, Routing Policy, MPLS, Multicast Router and Network Security, Router and Network Management, VPNs, and IPv6.


Note: In cases of identical topics in both the JNCIA-M and JNCIS-M exam, questions are of a more advanced nature on the JNCIS-M exam.

The JNCIP-M is designed to validate the networking professionals' ability to configure and troubleshoot common routing scenarios. Throughout this 8-hour practical exam, candidates will build an ISP consisting of seven M-series routers and multiple EBGP neighbors. Successful candidates will perform system configuration on all seven routers, install an IGP, a well-designed IBGP, establish connections with all EBGP neighbors as specified, and correctly configure the required routing policies. Passing the JNCIP-M exam is a requirement for attempting the JNCIE-M practical exam.

The JNCIP-M is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIS-M exam.

Exam topics MAY include: Advanced Operation, Configuration, and Troubleshooting skills, Routing Protocols: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS and RIP, Routing Policy.

At the pinnacle of the M-series & T-series certification track is the 1-day JNCIE-M practical exam. Maintaining the industry standard for technical excellence established by the JNTCP, the JNCIE-M certification continues to give candidates the opportunity to distinguish themselves as the truly elite of the networking world. The 8-hour format of this exam requires that candidates troubleshoot a pre-configured ISP network consisting of 10 M-series routers. Candidates are then presented with additional configuration tasks appropriate for an expert-level engineer.

The JNCIE-M is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIS-M exam.

Exam topics MAY include: Expert Level Operation, Configuration, and Troubleshooting skills, Routing Protocols: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and RIP, Routing Policy, Firewall Filters, CoS, MPLS, VPNs, IPv6, and Multicast.

Designed for experienced networking professionals with beginner-intermediate knowledge of the Juniper Networks J-series products and their deployment. JNCIA-J exam topics are based on the content of the Operating Juniper Networks Routers - J-series instructor led training course.

The JNCIA-J is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIA-J exam.

Exam topics include: J-series management and architecture, J-series User Interface, Installation and initial configuration, Monitoring and maintaining the J-series platforms, Routing Protocols, and Services.

Designed for experienced networking professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of Juniper Firewall/VPN products and ScreenOS software, this written exam verifies the candidate's basic understanding of Internet and security technology and related device configuration. JNCIA-FWV exam topics are based on the content of the Implementing NetScreen Security Gateways (INSG) instructor-led training course. This exam is NOT a prerequisite for the JNCIS-FWV certification.

The JNCIA-FWV is valid for two years. Re-certification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIA-FWV exam.

Exam topics include: Multilevel administration; routing, including dual-VR configuration; zone and policy configuration; address translation options; IPSec VPN technology and implementation.
