Course Overview
This five-day course provides in-depth instructions on IP fabric and Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) data center design and configuration. The course covers other data center concepts, including basic and advanced data center design options that include collapsed spine and super spine architectures, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), EVPN multicast enhancements, and seamless EVPN-VXLAN stitching. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience with these features. This content is based on vEX9214s running Junos OS Release 23.4R1.10.
Note: This course does not cover Juniper Apstra. For Juniper Apstra coverage, see Data Center Automation using Juniper Apstra (APSTRA)
