JUNOS for Security Platforms

Prerequisites:

Students should have basic networking knowledge and an understanding of the OSI model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also either attend the Introduction to JUNOS Software (IJS) and JUNOS Routing Essentials (JRE) courses prior to attending this class, or have equivalent experience with JUNOS Software.

Course Description:

This course provides students with the skills for configuration, operation, and implementation of JUNOS security platforms in a typical network environment. This course is based on JUNOS Software version 9.5R1.8.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring JUNOS Software for JUNOS security platforms.

After successfully completing this course, delegates should be able to:

• Describe traditional routing and security and the current trends in internetworking
• Provide an overview of the JUNOS security platforms and software architecture
• Describe the logical packet flow and session creation performed by JUNOS security platforms
• Describe, configure and monitor zones
• Describe, configure and monitor security policies
• Describe configure and monitor firewall user authentication
• Describe various types of network attacks
• Configure and monitor SCREEN options to prevent network attacks
• Explain, implement, and monitor NAT as implemented on JUNOS security platforms
• Explain the purpose and mechanics of IPsec VPNs
• Implement and monitor policy-based and route-based IPsec VPNs
• Utilise and update the IDP signature database on JUNOS security platfoms
• Configure and monitor IDP policy with policy templates
• Describe, configure and monitor high availability chassis clusters
