course teaches the basics of using the Juniper Apstra&trade; software to manage data center networks. This course offers attendees the knowledge to operate and manage Juniper Apstra. It also provides a comprehensive overview of modern data center design and intent-based networking concepts.<\/p>\n<p>The course covers the Juniper Apstra architecture and its data center reference architecture including the designing, building, deploying, and automation of both a collapsed IP fabric and a three-stage IP fabric using a Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) overlay. The course also covers the navigation of the Juniper Apstra UI including creating resources, designs, templates, and instantiating blueprints (a running network). After teaching the students to use Juniper Apstra to build a running data center, the course reviews the operational tools for managing a system with Juniper Apstra including performing basic troubleshooting, performing global and blueprint UI walkthroughs, enabling role-based access control, setting drain mode, adding and removing nodes from a fabric, rolling back an entire network (Time Voyager), creating on-box and off-box agents, configuring security policies, creating connectivity templates, querying the graph database, and performing intent-based analytics (IBA).<\/p>\n<p>Students will learn to configure and monitor Juniper Apstra&#039;s IP network through demos and hands-on work.
