Course Overview
This four-day course provides students with detailed exposure to the Juniper Mist Wired Assurance solution. This includes the three stages associated with switch installations: Day Zero—Provisioning, Day One—Deployment, and Day Two—Operations. This course explores the supporting technologies, software, and hardware that make up traditional campus LANs and campus fabrics. This course has six modules discussing Day One configuration, wired clients, managing site variables and dynamic port configurations, deploying campus fabrics, and lastly, discussing and implementing group-based policies (GBPs) and microsegmentation.
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 Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) campus fabric. The students will complete all these tasks in a dedicated lab through the Juniper Mist portal. The course is based on the latest version of Mist prior to the course release. Mist is a SaaS that updates in a biweekly cadence. The labs are focused on implementing and managing switches using the Mist UI in both a traditional campus architecture and a modern Campus Fabric architecture.
