JMR : JUNOS Multicast Routing

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Test Level: 2
  • Certifications: No Certification
  • Price: $1,595.00
  • Exams: No Exam
Course Overview
This two-day course is designed to provide students with detailed coverage of multicast protocols including Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Protocol Independent Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM), Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP). Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the Junos operating system and in monitoring device and protocol operations.
Course Objectives
After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
  • Identify the components of IP multicast
  • Explain how IP multicast addressing works
  • Identify the need for reverse path forwarding (RPF) in multicast
  • Explain the role of IGMP and describe the available IGMP versions
  • Configure and monitor IGMP
  • Explain the differences between dense-mode and sparse-mode protocols
  • Describe rendezvous point (RP) discovery options
  • Configure and monitor PIM dense and sparse modes
  • Configure and monitor rendezvous point discovery mechanisms
  • Explain the purpose and operation of MSDP
  • Describe the usage of MSDP within a single PIM domain with Anycast RP
  • Describe the usage of MSDP across multiple PIM domains
  • Configure and monitor MSDP
  • Compare the any-source multicast (ASM) and source-specific multicast (SSM) service models
  • Describe the basic requirements, benefits, and caveats of SSM
  • List the address ranges used for SSM
  • Illustrate the role of IGMPv3 and PIM-SM in an SSM implementation
  • Configure and monitor SSM
  • Describe the default PIM sparse mode information distribution
  • Explain how routing policies alter PIM message traffic
  • Describe how MSDP advertises messages to established peers
  • Identify the role of a policy in controlling MSDP message advertisement
  • Explain how you can use a policy to scope multicast groups
Target Audience
Network engineers, technical support personnel, reseller support engineers, and others responsible for implementing and/or maintaining the Juniper Networks products covered in this course.

This course benefits individuals responsible for implementing, monitoring, and troubleshooting multicast components in a service provider's network.
