About this Course

This two-day course provides students with intermediate routing knowledge and configuration examples. The course includes an overview of protocol-independent routing features, load balancing and filter-based forwarding, OSPF, BGP, IP tunneling, and high availability (HA) features.

Objectives

After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:

• Describe typical uses of static, aggregate, and generated routes.
• Configure and monitor static, aggregate, and generated routes.
• Explain the purpose of Martian routes and add new entries to the default list.
• Describe typical uses of routing instances.
• Configure and share routes between routing instances.
• Describe load-balancing concepts and operations.
• Implement and monitor Layer 3 load balancing.
• Illustrate benefits of filter-based forwarding.
• Configure and monitor filter-based forwarding.
• Explain the operations of OSPF.
• Describe the role of the designated router.
• List and describe OSPF area types.
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot OSPF.
• Describe BGP and its basic operations.
• Name and describe common BGP attributes.
• List the steps in the BGP route selection algorithm.
• Describe BGP peering options and the default route advertisement rules.
• Configure and monitor BGP.
• Describe IP tunneling concepts and applications.
• Explain the basic operations of generic routing encapsulation (GRE) and IP over IP (IP-IP) tunnels.
• Configure and monitor GRE and IP-IP tunnels.
• Describe various high availability features supported by the Junos OS.
• Configure and monitor some of the highlighted high availability features
