Duration
2 days
OVERVIEW
This two-day course will provide students with detailed exposure to Juniper’s Mist Wired Assurance solution. This includes the three stages associated to switch installations: Day Zero-Provisioning, Day One-Deployment, and Day Two-Operations. This course will explore the supporting technologies, software, and hardware that make up traditional campus LANs and campus fabric LANs. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience with provisioning, deploying, and managing Juniper EX Series and QFX Series switches. Students will also deploy switches to create an EVPN-VXLAN campus fabric. These tasks will all be completed by the students in a dedicated lab through the Mist UI.
