Course Overview
This two-day, advanced-level course provides detailed coverage of VLAN operations, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (VSTP), authentication and access control for Layer 2 networks, IP telephony features, class of service (CoS), monitoring and troubleshooting tools and features supported on Juniper Networks® EX Series Switches.
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos operating system (OS) and monitoring device and protocol operations. This course uses Juniper Networks® EX4300 Switches for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running Junos OS. This course is based on Junos OS Release 21.4R3.
Who should attend
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring EX Series Switches using Junos OS.
