Course Overview
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, but lays the foundational knowledge necessary to understand a data center that is built upon an IP fabric. In addition, this course covers Ethernet switching, VLANs, Layer 2 security features, routing policies, link aggregation, load balancing, filterbased forwarding (FBF), routing instances, BGP, graceful restart, and bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD).
Who should attend
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and managing network equipment in data centers.
