This three-day course provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of
protocol-independent routing features, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, routing policy, IP tunneling, load balancing, high availability (HA) features, VRRP, and IPv6.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring Junos OS and monitoring device operations.
This course uses Juniper Networks vSRX Series Services Gateways for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the
course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running Junos OS. This course is based on Junos OS Release 23.4R1

• Describe how routes enter a routing table, and how routers choose the best routes for forwarding traffic.
• Implement static routing within Junos OS.
• Describe OSPF within Junos OS.
• Describe how routing policies control what prefixes can enter the routing table and what prefixes can be advertised by protocols.
• Deploy OSPF within Junos OS.
• Implement IS-IS within Junos OS.
• Implement BGP within Junos OS.
• Deploy BGP within Junos OS.
• Describe some important advanced routing policy features and behaviors.
• Implement routing instances within Junos OS.
• Implement load balancing within Junos OS.
• Implement VRRP within Junos OS.
• Implement graceful routing and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) within Junos OS.
• Implement high availability features—GRES, NSR, and unified ISSU—within Junos OS.
• Implement IP tunneling within Junos OS.
• Describe IPv6 within Junos OS.
• Implement filter-based forwarding (FBF) within Junos OS.
  

This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS.
