Junos Space and NETCONF

Junos Space and NETCONF

Next topic – Junos Space Management Platform. Fortunately I have some basic experience with this software, so I think there will be no difficulties executing two basic operations which are indicated in the lab exam topics – discovering devices and configuration management. Junos Space version is not specified in the exam blueprint, but I think it does not really matter for such basic tasks. If you are not familiar with this stuff, try to watch some videos on YouTube, for example this…

On-box Scripts notes

On-box Scripts notes

During my preparation for JNCIE-DC lab exam, I’ll post here my notes about exam topics. Firstly there will be just theory (excerpts from books and config/feature guides), and later on I plan to practice most important topics in my virtual lab. First topic – On-box Scripting. I don’t believe that there will be some complex tasks on this topic in the lab exam – I expect just really basic stuff. Definitely no hard programming skills required. So I think it wolud…

JNCIP-DC exam notes

JNCIP-DC exam notes

Once again I’m convinced by my own experience that Juniper tests a lot more interesting and practical than Cisco ones (I’m recently passed CCIE R&S written to update my cert – such a horrible experience that I don’t want to even look at Cisco for another two years). Not so long ago I passed JNCIP-DC and would like to save some notes about this exam. First of all, materials from recommended courses – Data Center Switching (DCX) and Advanced Data Center…

JNCIE-DC in about a month? Nice challenge!

JNCIE-DC in about a month? Nice challenge!

After careful look at JNCIE-DC exam objectives, I finally decided to go for it. Planning to take the lab in August. Why so soon? It’s simple. I just really want 2-digit number 🙂 In truth, the deciding factor is the size of DC lab blueprint – not so many new areas to study for me (given that I’m only recently passed my JNCIE-SP lab and therefore pretty confident in my knowledge of BGP, MPLS and QoS areas). And I already has…

Let’s start a new blog!

Let’s start a new blog!

I starting this blog for saving my notes and thoughts about various network-related topics, that I stumbling upon during my journey towards becoming good (hopefully) network engineer. I hope this notes will be useful not only for me, but also for everybody interested in this area. Sorry in advance for my awkward “russian-english” style of writing. I hope it will become better as time goes by. I’m network engineer currently living in Moscow, Russia. I have some experience in various…
