Course Content
This two-day course provides detailed coverage of IP version 6 (IPv6) operations including Neighbor Discovery, ICMPv6, IPv6 protocol independent routing, OSPFv3, IS-IS, BGP, RIPng, transitions methods, and troubleshooting methodology and commands supported by the Junos operating system.
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, you will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos operating system and in monitoring device and IPv6 protocol operations. This course uses Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways for the hands-on component, but the lab environment does not preclude the course from being applicable to other Juniper hardware platforms running the Junos OS. This course is based on Junos OS Release 12.1R1.9.
Who should attend
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring IPv6 in the Junos OS.
Prerequisites
- Intermediate-level of networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the TCP/IP protocol suite.
- Attend the Introduction to the Operating System (IJOS), the !, and the JUNOS Intermediate Routing (JIR) courses prior to attending this class.
