Focuses on caveats and tips useful for potential test candidates
Emphasizes hands-on practice through timed lab simulations
Includes a six-hour lab simulation emulating the testing topics and
environment from the real exam
Labs facilitated by Junosphere virtual lab devices and are available after
hours for additional practice time
Based on Junos OS Release 10.4
More Information
Detailed course content, schedules and registration can be found on the
JNCIE-SP Bootcamp Web page on our LMS
Scheduling Classes in December 2011 and Q1 2012

PREPARING FOR JNCIE-SP
Based on MX Series platforms
A large lab is not required in order to properly prepare
SRX Series Branch devices are fairly inexpensive and can perform
most of the functionality required
Virtual Routers (VRs) or Logical Systems can be used to recreate
large topologies with as little as a single device
Use logical-tunnel (lt) interfaces to stitch different logical systems
together if you are short on physical interfaces
Routing protocols, Multicast, MPLS, QoS, etc. can all run across lt
interfaces
Junosphere is another option for preparation
