Junos OS and the OSPF Routing Protocol
While having a fast network is key to ensuring data is transmitted around a corporation as quickly and smoothly as possible, there's still a need to route traffic between networks. This course will begin your look at dynamic routing protocols.
What you'll learn
While having a fast network is key to ensuring data is transmitted around a corporation as quickly and smoothly as possible, having speed doesn't help if you need connectivity to other networks. To do this, you need to route traffic. This course, Junos OS and the OSPF Routing Protocol, along with the other courses in the JNCIS-ENT series, is designed to educate and prepare network engineers for working in and securing enterprise environments. First, you'll explore the different types of dynamic routing protocol. Next, you'll dive into an overview of the shortest path first algorithm, along with discovering the concept of areas. Finally, you'll learn how to configure OSPF on Junos OS based devices. By the end of this course, you'll not only have a better understanding of how OSPF decides what the best path is across the network, but you'll also have a greater awareness of some of the features that make OSPF a scalable yet flexible, dynamic routing protocol.

Martin's IT career goes back to 1993 and while he was involved with Apple Macintosh computers, and had the pleasure of using DEC VAX terminals. Back then, hand held literally meant picking the terminal up by it's carry handle to move it to the other side of the desk and touch screen meant getting a static shock. Of course, the world has moved on a great deal since then and Martin is proud to be at the cutting edge of network and internetwork technology, working with devices from Cisco, F5, Chec... more
