This two-day course is designed to provide students with intermediate switching knowledge and configuration examples.

The course includes an overview of switching concepts such as LANs, Layer 2 address learning, bridging, virtual LANs (VLANs), provider bridging, VLAN translation, spanning-tree protocols, and Ethernet Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM).

This course also covers Junos operating system-specific implementations of integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, routing instances, virtual switches, load balancing, and port mirroring.

Furthermore, this course covers the basics of Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP), link aggregation groups (LAGs), and multichassis LAG (MC-LAG).

This course uses MX Series 3D Ethernet Universal Edge Routers for the hands-on component. This course is based on the Junos OS Release 17.1R1.8.

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

Students should have basic 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 prior to attending this class.

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

- Describe carrier Ethernet.
- Describe the different Ethernet standards organizations.
- Describe the Layer 2 services that are available on the MX Series 3D Ethernet Universal Edge Routers.

Junos Service Provider Switching (JSPX) Training Course in the United States

The United States of America (USA) is a country in North America and a federal republic of 50 states. At almost 9.8 million square kilometers, the United States is one of the world’s biggest and most populous countries. While America’s capital city is Washington, D.C., some of its well known cities are New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, Las Vegas, Dallas, San Francisco and Kansas City.

The most iconic symbol of the country is probably the Statue of Liberty in New York and it was gifted by France. Despite the fact that English is the most widely used language in the United States, there is no official language. Independent since July 4, 1776, USA’s motto is “In God We Trust” and their current president is Joe Biden. Some of the best places to visit in the United States are Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Maui, New Orleans, Honolulu, Zion National Park, Kauai, Lake Tahoe, Aspen, Big Sur and Santa Fe.
