Course Overview
This course is designed to teach network engineers and architects how to configure, manage, and troubleshoot Session Smart Routers.
Juniper Session Smart SD-WAN will teach students how to configure and use a Session Smart Router and Session Smart Conductor. It starts with an
introduction to and then moves on to an introduction to the PCLI and GUI. After that, the students use the GUI to deploy and configure their Session Smart
Routers. They will go from servers with just CentOS installed to a fully deployed network with multiple paths and three Session Smart Routers and one Session
Smart Conductor.
Students will then learn how to enable and configure advanced features on their Session Smart Routers. These are features that are not necessary for a
Session Smart Routing deployment, but when activated, can be very powerful.
Students will then learn the tools they can use within their Session Smart Conductors and routers to monitor and troubleshoot issues they may be facing. The
students will learn useful commands and options in the GUI and the class will test the students’ abilities to troubleshoot real-life Session Smart Routers issues.
Juniper Session Smart SD-WAN (JSSS) is an intermediate level course.
Who should attend
This course benefits individuals who want to implement Session Smart Routing.
