Day One: Junos for IOS Engineers

Day One: Junos for IOS Engineers


When it’s time to swap out your Cisco routers with new Juniper Networks devices, use this book to expand your skill set to include Junos, and make the transition to an advanced operating system with speed and confidence.   


There comes a time in every network engineer’s career when they need to transition to other technologies, but appearances of complexity can get in the way. To make the  path from IOS to Junos easier, you need a book that can make you feel confident about how your new Juniper Network router, switch, or security device operates.


Day One: Junos for IOS Engineers addresses these needs of the IOS-trained engineer by providing a side-by-side comparison of configurations and techniques in both IOS and Junos. In a few quick steps you can compare what you did yesterday with IOS to what you can do today with Junos. Along the way are insights, tips, and no-nonsense explanations of what is taking place. If you are an engineer who is already familiar with IOS, get ready to see the ‘Junos way’ in action, whether it’s simply using a different syntax or a whole new efficient way of networking.


“This Day One book is just what was needed for those of us who know IOS but need to know Junos. The examples being shown side-by-side between IOS and Junos really helps us understand the Junos configuration.” - Jeff Fry, CCIE #22061


IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO:

• Understand the differences in thought process between Junos and IOS.

• Configure simple functions and common tasks on any Junos device.

• Compare Junos configurations to your accustomed IOS configurations.  

• Write configurations for small networks utilizing VLANs, OSPF and BGP.
