JIR Junos Intermediate Routing

This two-day course provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of protocol independent routing features, load balancing and filter-based forwarding, OSPF, BGP, IP tunneling, and high-availability (HA) features.

JIR is an intermediate-level course, this course will benefit technicians responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running Junos. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos OS and monitoring device operations.

• Configure and monitor static, aggregate, and generated routes
• Configure and share routes between routing instances
• Describe load-balancing concepts and operations
• Implement and monitor Layer 3 load balancing
• Configure and monitor filter-based forwarding
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot OSPF
• Describe BGP and its basic operations
• Configure and monitor BGP
• Describe IP tunneling concepts and applications
• Configure and monitor GRE and IP-IP tunnels
• Identify various high-availability features supported in JUNOS
• Configure and monitor high-availability features
• Describe some differences between IPv4 and IPv6
• List IPv6 address types and describe the IPv6 addressing format
• Configure and monitor routing for IPv6 environments
• Tunnel IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network
• Explain the operations of IS-IS
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot IS-IS
