Junos Service Provider Switching Training Course Overview

In this comprehensive two-day course, students will acquire intermediate-level switching knowledge and practical configuration expertise. The curriculum covers essential switching concepts, including LANs, Layer 2 address learning, bridging, VLANs, provider bridging, VLAN translation, spanning-tree protocols, and Ethernet Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). Additionally, the course delves into Junos operating system (OS)-specific implementations, covering integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, routing instances, virtual switches, load balancing, and port mirroring. Participants will also gain insights into Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP), link aggregation groups (LAGs), and multichassis LAG (MC-LAG). Based on Junos OS Release 22.1R1.10, this course ensures students are equipped with up-to-date knowledge and practical skills in intermediate switching with Juniper devices.
