Operating Juniper Networks Switches in the Enterprise (32hrs)
Course Overview
This four-day course discusses the configuration of Juniper Networks EX-series switches in a typical network environment. Key topics include a platform overview, user configuration interfaces, initial and secondary system configuration tasks, operational monitoring of an EX-series switch, Ethernet switching concepts, spanning tree protocol, inter-VLAN routing, switching security protocols and features, IP telephony features, and design and implementation considerations.
Objectives
After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:
* Describe common deployment options for the EX-series switches.
* Perform operational monitoring tasks typically associated with EX-series switches.
* Install and configure an EX-series switch in a network.
* Form a Virtual Chassis system by connecting multiple EX-4200 switches.
* Configure and monitor virtual local area networks (VLANs).
* Create a loop-free network environment using the spanning tree protocol (STP).
* Implement inter-VLAN routing using static and dynamic methods.
* Define and apply routing policy and firewall filters.
* Secure a switch port using available port access security features.
* Configure and monitor IP telephony features such as PoE, voice VLAN, and LLDP.
* Design and implement a Layer 2 network using EX-series switches.
Intended Audience
The primary audiences for this course are end users of EX-series switches, which include the following:
* Network engineers;
* Support personnel;
* Reseller support; and
* Others responsible for implementing Juniper Networks enterprise switching products.
Course Level
This is an introductory-level course.
Prerequisites
The OJXE prerequisite is a basic understanding of the TCP/IP protocols.
While not required, familiarity with the command-line interface of a switching platform or UNIX system is helpful.
