Juniper Networks - Introduction to the Junos Operating System

This four-day course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to configure, verify, and troubleshoot devices that run Junos OS. Students will gain a wide variety of practical experience with using the command-line interface (CLI). The course focuses on routers and switches, and explains Layer 3 network interface basics, routing tables, static routes, OSPF, Layer 2 switchports, user accounts, firewall filters, routing policy, and troubleshooting.

Objectives

  • Explain the most important benefits of Junos OS and describe the kind of devices that run it.
  • Explain how to remotely connect to the Junos CLI, and how to use operational mode to verify system information.
  • Describe the reasons that IPv6 was created and explain how to read an IPv6 address.
  • Explain the difference between a physical network interface and a logical unit.
  • Demonstrate how the Junos OS CLI can reveal detailed information about network interfaces.
  • Describe how Junos OS stores its configuration using a logical and hierarchical structure.
  • Demonstrate how to deploy configuration in Junos OS, and how the commit process helps to prevent mistakes.
  • Demonstrate the commands and keyboard shortcuts that make Junos CLI configurations more efficient.
  • Describe how routes enter a routing table, and how routers choose the best routes for forwarding traffic.
  • Describe how static routes manually install routing information into a router.
  • Describe how routing protocols can automatically find the best path to remote destinations.
  • Demonstrate how to deploy OSPF to automatically advertise and learn prefixes in a single network.
  • Explain how to manage a switch that runs Junos OS.
  • Demonstrate how to enable some crucial Junos OS administrative features.
  • Describe the most important things to consider when deploying a new device that runs Junos OS.
  • Demonstrate how knowledge of the underlying Junos OS architecture can bring advantages to network operators.
  • Demonstrate how a knowledge of the underlying Junos OS software helps you when upgrading Junos and troubleshooting networks.
  • Demonstrate the most important and useful tools available in Junos OS that can help you fix real-world problems.
