JUNOS for Security Platforms - On Demand (JSEC-OD)

Overview:

This 21-module ONLINE course covers the configuration, operation, and implementation of SRX Series Services Gateways in a typical network environment. Key topics within this course include: security zones, security policies, Network Address Translation (NAT), IPsec VPNs, and high availability clusters, as well as how to implement these features by using Junos Space and Security Director.

 

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring the Junos OS and monitoring device operations of Junos security devices. This course uses Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways for the primary hands-on component. The course also includes some hands-on labs that use Junos Space and Security Director to configure and manage Junos security devices.

 
Target audience:
This course benefits operators of SRX Series devices. These operators include network engineers, administrators, support personnel, and reseller support personnel.
 
Prerequisites:  
Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the OSI model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also attend the Introduction to the Junos OS (IJOS) course or have equivalent experience prior to attending this class
