Course Content
This two-day course provides you with advanced class-of-service (CoS) knowledge and configuration examples. You will begin with an overview of CoS, then learn about classification, policing, scheduling and rewriting. The course then covers class-based forwarding and finishes with a case study. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, you will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the JUNOS Software and monitoring basic device operations.
Certification: JNCIP-SP - JN0-661
Who should attend
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS, especially those in a service provider environment. It also benefits individuals responsible for designing networks containing devices running the Junos OS.
Certifications
This course is part of the following Certifications:
Prerequisites
You should attend the Introduction to the Operating System (IJOS), !, and JUNOS Intermediate Routing (JIR) courses, or have equivalent experience prior to attending this class. General knowledge of Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) protocol would be helpful.
Course Objectives
After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:
- Understand the history and evolution of CoS.

- List the CoS processing stages on devices running the Junos OS.
- Identify the default CoS settings on devices running the Junos OS.
- Configure and verify behavior aggregate (BA) and multifield (MF) classification.
- Configure and verify two-color and tricolor marking policers.
- Configure and verify schedulers and their components.
- Configure and verify the multiple levels of hierarchical schedulers.
- Configure and verify packet header rewriting.
- Configure and verify class-based forwarding.
- Create a CoS configuration based on a set of design requirements.
