Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR)

Course Level

Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR) is an intermediate-level course.

Intended Audience

This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS.

Prerequisites

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also attend the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) course prior to attending this class.
