Course Description

This three-day course provides students with the skills for configuration, operation, and implementation of JUNOS security platforms in a typical network environment.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring JUNOS Software for JUNOS security platforms.

Target Student:

This course benefits operators of SRX Series Services Gateways.

These operators include network engineers, administrators, support personnel, and reseller support personnel.

Prerequisites:

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the OSI model and the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Students should also either attend the Introduction to JUNOS Software (IJS) and JUNOS Routing Essentials (JRE) courses prior to attending this class, or have equivalent experience with JUNOS Software.

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 traditional routing and security and the current trends in internetworking;
