Course Overview
- This specialized course offers comprehensive and strategic preparation for the Juniper Networks Certified Internet Specialist, Enterprise Routing and Switching (JNCIS-ENT, exam code JN0-349) certification. It provides an in-depth exploration of core routing and switching technologies within a Juniper enterprise network, enabling you to effectively design, implement, and troubleshoot complex infrastructures.
- Focusing on the intricacies of Junos OS, the curriculum delivers a robust understanding of advanced routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS), sophisticated Layer 2 switching capabilities (VLANs, STP), critical high availability mechanisms (VRRP, NSR), and essential security features like firewall filters. It emphasizes practical application and real-world problem-solving, crucial for modern network engineers.
- Meticulously aligned with the official JNCIS-ENT exam objectives, this course ensures precise and deep coverage of every critical domain. It guides learners from foundational Junos knowledge to specialist-level configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, solidifying expertise needed for daily operational and architectural roles.
Requirements / Prerequisites
- Strong Foundational Networking Knowledge: A solid grasp of fundamental networking concepts including TCP/IP, Ethernet, IP addressing (IPv4/IPv6), subnetting, and basic router/switch operations. This course assumes prior general networking understanding.
- JNCIA-Junos Certification or Equivalent Experience: While not mandatory, prior completion of the Juniper Networks Certified Associate, Junos (JNCIA-Junos) certification or at least 6-12 months of hands-on experience with Junos OS CLI is highly recommended for optimal learning progression.
- Proficiency with Command-Line Interface (CLI): Learners should be comfortable navigating and configuring network devices via CLI, with preference for prior Junos OS CLI familiarity.
- Conceptual Understanding of Routing Protocols: Initial conceptual knowledge of how OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS generally operate is beneficial, as the course will dive into Juniper-specific implementations.
- Familiarity with Layer 2 Switching Concepts: Basic understanding of Ethernet switching, VLANs, and Spanning Tree Protocols (STP) is expected.
- Commitment to Hands-On Practice: Maximizing learning requires dedication to practical exercises, ideally using Juniper virtual labs (vMX, vSRX), GNS3, or EVE-NG to reinforce theoretical knowledge.
Skills Covered / Tools Used
- Advanced OSPF Implementation: Master multi-area OSPF, LSA types, route summarization, stub areas, authentication, and advanced path selection for enterprise networks.
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Mastery: Gain expert skills configuring iBGP/eBGP peering, BGP path attributes, intricate route policies, route reflectors, and confederations.
- Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Protocol: Deep dive into IS-IS routing (Level 1/Level 2 operations, wide metrics, authentication, policy application).
- Comprehensive Layer 2 Switching Technologies: Implement and manage VLANs, VSTP/RSTP/MSTP, Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), MVRP, and advanced port security features.
- High Availability Features: Configure and troubleshoot Graceful Restart (GR), Nonstop Active Routing (NSR), Nonstop Bridging (NSB), Unified ISSU, and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP/VRRPv3).
- IPv6 Routing Protocols: Extend expertise to IPv6 by configuring OSPFv3, BGP for IPv6, and IS-IS for IPv6 environments.
- Firewall Filters and Class of Service (CoS): Develop skills implementing stateless firewall filters for traffic control and security, plus foundational CoS concepts like policing and shaping.
- Multicast Routing Fundamentals: Understand and configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse/dense mode and IGMP snooping for efficient group-based traffic delivery.
- Junos OS Command-Line Interface (CLI) Expertise: Become highly proficient in using the Junos CLI for configuration, detailed operational monitoring, and advanced troubleshooting.
- Network Simulation/Emulation Tools: Learners are encouraged to utilize tools like GNS3, EVE-NG, or Juniper’s vLabs/vMX/vSRX for hands-on lab practice.
