This two-day course provides detailed coverage of virtual LAN (VLAN) operations, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (VSTP), authentication and access control for Layer 2 networks, IP telephony features, class of service (CoS), and monitoring and troubleshooting tools and features supported on the EX Series Ethernet Switches.

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 EX Series Ethernet Switches for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running the Junos operating system. This course is based on the Junos OS Release 12.2R1.8.

Participants

This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring EX Series switches.

AJEX is an advanced-level course.

Prerequisites

Students should have an intermediate-level of networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also attend the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) course, the Junos Routing Essentials (JRE) course, and the Junos Enterprise Switching (JEX) course prior to attending this class.

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

Implement filter-based VLAN assignments.
Restrict traffic flow within a VLAN.
Manage dynamic VLAN registration.
Tunnel Layer 2 traffic through Ethernet networks.
Implement multiple spanning-tree instances in a network.
Implement one or more spanning-tree instances for a VLAN.
