Junos Service Provider Switching (JSPX)
This two-day course's objective is to give students an understanding of intermediate switching concepts and configuration examples. The system features a summary of switching concepts, including LANs, Layer 2 address learning, bridging, VLANs, provider bridging, VLAN translation, spanning-tree protocols, and Ethernet Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). The integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, routing instances, virtual switches, load balancing, and port mirroring applications specific to the Junos operating system (OS) are also covered in this course. This course also covers the fundamentals of link aggregation groups (LAGs), multi-chassis LAG, and Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) (MC-LAG). On Junos OS Release 22.1R1.10, this course is built.

Q: What is enterprise routing?
A: The JUNOS software is a single train of features that operates across various routing platforms. So, whether you run an enterprise or service provider network, & regardless of your actual hardware platform, there is a single version of software code to load. Although this single code train has lots of hidden benefits, such as stability, ease of expandability, lower total operational costs, & more, Enterprise Routing really means the ability to have the same features available on all devices.
Q: Is a router the switch?
A: A switch connects several devices to create a network, and a router connects multiple switches, & their respective networks to form an even more extensive network. These networks may be in various locations or across multiple sites.
Q: What is Juno's Operating System?
A: Juniper Networks provides high-performance network devices that create a responsive & trusted environment for accelerating the deployment of services & applications over a single network. The Junos operating system (Junos OS) is the foundation of these high-performance networks.
Q: What is the infrastructure required to attend your training program?
A: To attend the training session, you should have operational Desktops or Laptops with the required specification and a good internet connection to access the labs.
Q: What if I miss a class on a particular day?
A: We would always recommend you attend the live session to practice & clarify the doubts instantly & get more value from your investment. However, due to some contingency, if you have to skip the class, Radiant Techlearning will help you with the recorded session of that particular day. However, those recorded sessions are not meant only for personal consumption & NOT for distribution or commercial use.
Q: How will I be accessing the labs?
A: Radiant Techlearning has a data center containing the Virtual Training environment for participants' h&-on-practice.
Participants can easily access these labs over Cloud with the help of a remote desktop connection.
Radiant virtual labs allow you to learn from anywhere in the world & in any time zone.
Q: What kind of projects are included as a part of training?
A: The learners will be enthralled as we engage them the real-world & industry Oriented projects during the training program. These projects will improve your skills & knowledge & you will gain a better experience. These real-time projects will help you a lot in your future tasks & assignments.
