The Service Provider Routing and
Switching track enables you to demonstrate a thorough understanding of networking
technology in general and Juniper Networks service provider routing and switching
platforms. JNCIE-SP is at the pinnacle of the Service Provider Routing and Switching
certification track.
The JNCIE-SP lab exam is
designed to
validate your ability to implement, troubleshoot and maintain Juniper Networks
service provider networks. The 6-hour format of this exam requires that you build a
service provider network consisting of multiple vMX virtual routers. You will
perform system configuration on all devices, implement various protocols, policies
and VPNs, multicasts, and class of services.
This track contains four certifications:
- JNCIA-Junos: Junos, Associate. For details, see JNCIA-Junos
- JNCIS-SP: Service Provider Routing and Switching, Specialist. For details, see JNCIS-SP.
- JNCIP-SP: Service Provider Routing and Switching, Professional. For details, see
JNCIP-SP.
- JNCIE-SP: Service Provider Routing and Switching, Expert. For details, see the
sections below.
