JNCIS-SP Bundle – Specialist Level Certification

Skip to Schedule

Course Overview

The JNCIS-SP Certification curriculum includes 6 days of training that covers technology aspects that meet the Junos Specialist Certification tier for the Service Provider. Students attending this series will take part in 3 courses (after meeting prerequisites) as part of the certification, including Routing and Switching technology and protocols running Junos Software. This two-class bundle prepares students for the JNCIS-SP Certification exam, whose topics are based on the content of these courses:

1. Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR)
2. Junos Service Provider Switching (JSPX)

Part 2 of the JNCIS-SP Bundle includes the JMF - Junos MPLS Fundamentals course, which is taken separately.

• Junos MPLS Fundamentals (JMF)

Course Objectives

This course provides students 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 VUE testing centers. Refer to each course for detailed content, a general outline of course content includes:

• Configure and monitor static routing
• Configure and monitor OSPF
• Write and apply a routing policy
• Write and apply a firewall filter
• Configuration for unicast reverse path forwarding (RPF)
• Implement and verify proper operation of CoS
• Configure and monitor static, aggregate, and generated routes
• Configure and share routes between routing instances
• Implement and monitor Layer 3 load balancing
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot OSPF
• Configure and monitor BGP
• Configure and monitor GRE and IP-IP tunnels
• Configure and monitor high-availability features
• Configure and monitor routing for IPv6 environments
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot IS-IS
• Configure Ethernet frame filtering
• Configure VLAN tagging
• Implement a virtual switch
• Configure and monitor provider bridging
• Configure and monitor Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and the VLAN Spanning Tree
• Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU), loop, and root protection
• Link Fault Management (LFM)
• Configure and monitor Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP)
• Configure and troubleshoot RSVP-signaled and LDP-signaled LSPs
• Configure a BGP extended community
• Configure a Layer 3 VPN using a dynamic CE-PE routing protocol

Target Audience

Network engineers, support personnel, reseller support, and others responsible for implementing Juniper products in a Service provider environment or aiming to become certified engineers will find the most value in this course.
