Course Overview
The JPSA course replaced the Configuring Juniper Networks Secure Access and Advanced Juniper Networks Secure Access (CJSA/AJSA) courses in October 2012.
This four-day course discusses the configuration of the Junos Pulse Secure Access Service in a typical network environment. Key topics include Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) access technologies, basic implementation, and configuration and management options. This course uses the MAG6611 Junos Pulse Gateway using MAG-SM160 Service Modules. The course also supports the SA Series SSL VPN Virtual Appliance Demonstration and Training Edition (DTE).
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students gain experience in configuring, testing, and troubleshooting features of the Juniper Networks Secure Access product line. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure, test, and troubleshoot basic and advanced featurs of the Junos Pulse Secure Access Service.
Students that attend this course will be eligible to receive a free Pearson-VUE test voucher that can be used to take the associated Juniper Networks JNCIS-SA Certification Exam
