Course Description

This one-day course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with the Junos operating system and to configure Junos devices.

The course provides a brief overview of the Junos device families and discusses the key architectural components of the software. Key topics include user interface options with a heavy focus on the command-line interface (CLI), configuration tasks typically associated with the initial setup of devices, interface configuration basics with configuration examples, secondary system configuration, and the basics of operational monitoring and maintenance of Junos devices.
 
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring basic device operations.

Target Student:

This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS.

Prerequisites:

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Delivery Method:

Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.

Performance-Based Objectives:

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the basic design architecture of the Junos OS.
