Introduction to Juniper Data Center Networking
This three-day course provides introductory instruction on data center switching using Juniper products. This course does not cover Ethernet VPN– Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) architecture. Still, it lays the foundational knowledge necessary to understand a data center built upon an IP fabric. In addition, this course covers Ethernet switching, VLANs, Layer 2 security features, routing policies, link aggregation, load balancing, filter-based or warding (FBF), routing instances, BGP, graceful restart, & bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD)
Duration: 3 Days (24 Hours)
