Course Overview
The JUNOS Foundation course is a four-day course that provides students with beginning and intermediate routing and switching knowledge
that provides the Fast Track to your JNCIS Certification.
The course includes 3 titles that are the foundation of the JNCIS-ENT & JNCIS-SP Certification programs. The titles combined into this BootCamp include:
- IJOS (Introduction to JUNOS Software)
- JRE (JUNOS Routing Essentials)
- JIR (JUNOS Intermediate Routing)
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the JUNOS Software and device operations. Upon completion of this course, students will be adequately trained to pass the JNCIA-JUNOS Certification exam (JNO-100) and will only require tertiary courses to attain JNCIS-SP or JNCIS-ENT.
