New Configuring switches in a Juniper environment

The aim of the course is to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to switching technology, and the deployment and configuration of networks based on switch-based devices in medium and large enterprise environments, using Juniper tools and solutions. The course is 50% practical and 50% theoretical.

The course will also help you to achieve the Juniper Networks Certified Specialist (JNCIS-ENT) qualification at the professional level.

The course is recommended for professionals, network operators, system administrators with previous Juniper (Junos) networking knowledge, who will be responsible for the future implementation and operation of Juniper switch-based systems and who wish to acquire the necessary operational and technological knowledge.
