Deploying and Managing Wired Networks for Campus and Branch with Juniper Mist AI

This four-day, intermediate-level course provides students with detailed exposure to the Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance solution, covering its three installation stages: Day Zero—Provisioning, Day One—Deployment, and Day Two+—Operations. This course explores the supporting technologies, software, and hardware that make up traditional campus LANs and fabrics. The course includes Juniper Mist Wired Assurance Day One configuration, Virtual Chassis configuration through Juniper Mist™, wired client management, site variable and dynamic port configuration management, campus fabric deployment, and lastly, the discussion and implementation of group-based policies (GBPs) and microsegmentation. The labs for this course are intended to mirror the lab steps in the Campus Fabric EVPN Multihoming Using Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance—Juniper Validated Design (JVD) and the Campus Fabric IP Clos Using Mist Wired Assurance—Juniper Validated Design (JVD), respectively.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience provisioning, deploying, and managing Juniper Networks® EX Series Switches and Juniper Networks® QFX Series Switches. Students will also deploy switches to create an Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) campus fabric. Students will complete these tasks in a dedicated lab through the Juniper Mist portal. Juniper Mist is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that updates on a monthly cadence. The labs focus on implementing and managing switches using the Juniper Mist GUI in both traditional campus and modern campus fabric architectures.

This course is based on the Juniper Validated Campus Designs and uses Juniper Networks® EX Series Switches and QFX Series Switches running Junos 24.2R2-S2.5, and the Juniper Networks® SRX Series Firewall running Junos 24.2R2-18.
