JUNOS Enterprise Switching is the only detailed technical book on
Juniper Networks' new Ethernet-switching EX product platform. With this
book, you'll learn all about the hardware and ASIC design prowess of the
EX platform, as well as the JUNOS Software that powers it. Not only is
this extremely practical book a useful, hands-on manual to the EX
platform, it also makes an excellent study guide for certification exams
in the JNTCP enterprise tracks.
The authors have based JUNOS Enterprise Switching on their own Juniper
training practices and programs, as well as the configuration,
maintenance, and troubleshooting guidelines they created for their
bestselling companion book, JUNOS Enterprise Routing. Using a mix of
test cases, case studies, use cases, and tangential answers to
real-world problems, this book covers:
-
Enterprise switching and virtual LANs (VLANs)
-
The Spanning tree protocol and why it's needed
-
Inter-VLAN routing, including route tables and preferences
-
Routing policy and firewall filters
-
Switching security, such as DHCP snooping
-
Telephony integration, including VLAN voice
Part of the Juniper Networks Technical Library, JUNOS Enterprise
Switching provides all-inclusive coverage of the Juniper Networks EX
product platform, including architecture and packet flow, management
options, user interface options, and complete details on JUNOS switch
deployment.
