Price Upon Request
This three-day course provides introductory instruction on data center switching using Juniper products. This course does not cover Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) architecture, but lays the foundational knowledge necessary to understand a data center that is built upon an IP fabric.
In addition, this course covers Ethernet switching, VLANs, Layer 2 security features, routing policies, link aggregation, load balancing, filter-based forwarding (FBF), routing instances, BGP, graceful restart, and bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD).
Associated Certification:
Data Center, Associate (JNCIA-DC)
- Identify and describe how to configure a typical data center layout, including spine and leaf placements.
- Describe an IP fabric architecture.
- Explain and configure basic Ethernet switching.
- Explain and configure virtual networks (VLANs).
- Describe layer 2 security.
- Implement link aggregation.
- Describe and implement protocol independent routing and routing instances with Junos OS.
- Configure load balancing within Junos OS.
- Implement FBF using Junos OS.
- Describe and deploy OSPF.
- Describe and deploy BGP.
- Implement graceful restart and BFD using Junos OS.
