Course Overview
The JNCIS-SP Certification BootCamp course is a 5-day Blended-Learning event that covers technology aspects that meet the JUNOS Specialist Certification tier for the SERVICE PROVIDER ENGINEER. Students attending this course will take part in 4 courses as part of the certification, including a video-based JunOS introduction, then Routing and MX Switching technologies running JUNOS Software. This course prepares students for the new JNCIS-SP Certification exam, whose topics are based on the content of these courses:
- IJOS
- JRE
- JIR
- JSPX
Course Topics
This course provides students with a JUNOS introduction that will be valuable for the JNCIA-JUNOS Certification exam.
Afterward, the course includes an overview of switching concepts such as LANs, Layer 2 address learning, bridging, virtual LANs (VLANs),
provider bridging, provider backbone bridging, VLAN translation, spanning-tree protocols, and Ethernet Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM).
This course also covers Routing topics that are germane to the JNCIS-SP Certification exam now available at Prometric testing centers.
