About this course
Course Overview
This two-day course provides students with advanced class-of-service (CoS) knowledge and configuration examples. The course begins with an overview of CoS before going into classification, policing, scheduling, and rewriting. The course then covers class-based forwarding and finishes with a case study. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and verifying Junos CoS features. This course is based on the Junos operating system Release 16.2R1.6.
Junos Class of Service is an advanced level course.
Target Audience
This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring devices running the Junos OS, especially those in a service provider environment. It also benefits individuals responsible for designing networks containing devices running the Junos OS.
