Target Audience
Designed for experienced networking professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of the Juniper Networks E-series platforms, this written exam verifies the candidate's basic understanding of Internet technology and related platform configuration and troubleshooting skills. JNCIA-E exam topics are based on the content of the Introduction to Juniper Networks Routers–E-series and E-series B-RAS Configuration Basics instructor-led training courses. This exam is NOT a prerequisite for the JNCIS-E exam.
