JUNOS Enterprise Routing

How This Book Will Help You

I have known and worked with Doug and Harry for years, and have watched both of them add to their earlier careers in telecommunications with outstanding work for Juniper and SNT. Both have extensive experience in training and certification, and both are established authors of educational materials, course guides, and books that have helped thousands of networking engineers obtain knowledge to set them apart from the competitive field. Their students and readers have gone on to form an elite group.

This book will serve two purposes for you. First, it will allow you to quickly acquire the knowledge to succeed in implementing enterprise networks, no matter how advanced, with Juniper Networks routers. Second, it will help you to prove your knowledge by passing the Juniper Networks Certified Internet Expert (JNCIE-ER) examination, one of the most highly regarded certifications in the industry. Each chapter’s tutorial trains you in the most essential elements of the subject, and the review questions at the end of each chapter allow you to confirm the knowledge you’ve acquired. Doug and Harry have extensive experience in both the practical and the pedagogical components of this mission, and this book is an excellent example of how theory and practice can come together in one comprehensive yet concise package.

Juniper Networks routers and the JUNOS operating system are changing the way IT departments are regarding their IP networks, allowing them to put greater trust in the capabilities of their routing infrastructures and thereby deliver much greater value to the bottom lines of their organizations. With this book, Doug and Harry have delivered the tools necessary for every network engineer to add valuable knowledge and skills to his professional portfolio, and to help his company reap the benefits of the enterprise IP revolution. All that’s required is for you to accept the challenge!
