NA-WAN : Network Automation in the WAN
- Duration: 3 Days
- Test Level: Advanced
- Certifications: -
- Price: USD 2850
- Exams: -
This three-day course is designed to introduce various Juniper NorthStar Controller and WANDL IP/MPLSView features including, but not limited to, topology discovery, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label switched path (LSP) management, LSP optimization, LSP calendaring, maintenance scheduling, failure simulation, reporting, network modeling, path demand placement, and hardware inventory. Students will learn to configure and monitor these features that exist on Juniper’s NorthStar Controller and IP/MPLSView platform with the help of a network built using vMX Series devices. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience configuring, monitoring, and analyzing the above features of the NorthStar Controller and WANDL IP/MPLSView. This course is based on NorthStar Release 2.1 and WANDL IP/MPLSView Release 6.2.1.
This course benefits individuals responsible for managing MPLS networks that want to add automation using the NorthStar Controller and WANDL IP/MPLSView, including individuals in professional services, sales and support organizations, and the end users.
