Course Prerequisites
To ensure that participants can successfully engage with and benefit from the Junos Service Provider Switching (JSPX) course, the following prerequisites are recommended:
- Basic understanding of networking concepts and protocols
- Familiarity with the Juniper Networks Junos OS for routing and switching
- Prior experience with or knowledge of Ethernet and TCP/IP networking
- Previous exposure to the command line interface (CLI) of Junos-based devices
- An understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and the function of each layer
- Some knowledge of VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and link aggregation would be advantageous but not mandatory
These prerequisites are meant to provide a foundational knowledge base that will help you grasp the advanced concepts presented in the JSPX course. They are not meant to discourage interested learners who may not yet possess all the skills listed. Resources are available to help you prepare, including introductory courses and materials on networking and Junos OS.
