This lab-intensive, five-day course provides an advanced look at popular routing and traffic engineering protocols supported on Juniper Networks M-series and T-series platforms. The AJNR course investigates the intricacies of interior gateway protocol (IGP) operation through OSPF and IS-IS labs that engage the student in a detailed examination of the link-state database and the effects of virtually all protocol options and covers advanced JUNOS software features relating to MPLS and traffic engineering. The complexities of large-scale routing using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are then explored, with the focus on scaling networks using route reflection and confederations. Numerous BGP options such as multi-hop, multipath, and authentication, are discussed and configured.
