This advanced 3-day VPN course focuses on designing, deploying, and troubleshooting Layer 2 and Layer 3 provider-provisioned MPLS virtual private networks (VPNs) on Juniper M/T routers.
This is an intensive hands-on workshop, with students participating in a variety of configuration and troubleshooting scenarios. Each student team controls its own provider-edge (PE) and customer-edge (CE) router pairing, with the class sharing three provider routers that form the provider core.

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to Navigate within the JUNOS Software CLI, perform tasks within the CLI operational and configuration modes and perform initial configuration tasks. Specific topics include:

• Introduction to VPNs
• Virtual Private LAN Service
• JUNOS Software Layer 3 VPN Implementation
• Virtual and Logical Routers
• Routing Tables
• Virtual Routers
• Logical Router Configuration
• Customer Edge Routers
• Provider Edge Routers
• Configuring Layer 3 VPNs
• OSPF Configuration
• Route Target
• Adding Traffic Engineering
• Carrier-to-Carrier VPN Applications
• Layer 3 VPNs - Advanced Topics
• Multicast
• VPNs and CoS
• GRE Tunneling
• Overview of Layer 2Provider-Provisioned VPNs
• Layer 2 VPN Scaling and CoS
• Martini Layer 2 VPNs

Students should either have taken the CJNR class or have the equivalent experience from working with JUNOS Internet software in a production environment. A working knowledge of OSPF or IS-IS, BGP4, JUNOS policy, and MPLS is required for the hands-on portions of this workshop.
