Advanced Junos Enterprise Routing (AJER) Training in United Kingdom

This five-day course is designed to provide students with the tools required for implementing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Layer 3 components in an enterprise network. Detailed coverage of OSPF, BGP, multicast, class of service (CoS), and EVPN-VXLAN is covered in depth.

The course also exposes students to common troubleshooting commands and tools used to troubleshoot various intermediate to advanced issues.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos operating system and in monitoring device and protocol operations.

This course uses Juniper Networks vSRX virtual firewall for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running Junos OS.

This course is based on Junos OS Release 19.3R1.8.
