Course Overview
This four-day course is designed to provide students with the knowledge required to configure and manage subscriber management on devices running the Junos operating system. This course focuses on the main configuration components of subscriber management, including subscriber authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) local server and DHCP relay and proxy agent, the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), subscriber addressing, dynamic profiles, subscriber interfaces, Layer 3 and Layer 2 wholesale services, Pseudowire Headend Termination (PWHT), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), dynamic firewall services, subscriber class of service (CoS), basic Network Address Translation (NAT) and Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) functions, Juniper Address Pool Manager, High-availability, Juniper BNG CUPS introduction, and Subscriber Secure Policy (SSP, or lawful intercept).
Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting subscriber management features on MX Series routers running Junos OS. This course is based on Junos OS Release 22.4R3.25.
Who Should Attend
Individuals responsible for network administrators who configure and administer subscriber management features on MX Series routers running Junos OS.
