Using Juniper for the First Time | JunOS CLI

Using Juniper for the First Time | JunOS CLI
I have a mostly Cisco background, but it’s time to diversify. But the prospect of trying to use Juniper routers for the first time can be daunting.

If you’re in the same position, this video will help you. I’ve taken my initial Juniper learning and wrapped it up here to save you time, and help get you started.

We’ll look at operational mode and configuration mode, and how they’re different.

We’ll look at the candidate and active configurations, as well as deciphering how the configuration looks (it can be intimidating with curly braces and indents, but I promise it’s not hard at all!)

We’ll also look at configuring a few small items, and see how we can commit our changes once we’re happy.

We’re using Juniper’s vLabs throughout this video, which you can access for free:

If you like this video, I’ll continue by going through a more advanced topology in the lab

THANK YOU! This was even better than Juniper's "Learning Bytes". Your presentation is professional, instructive, and it just clicks well.

[DaveLucre]

Please do more Juniper. A full configuration of an organisation with a data center, and multiple branch offices would be amazing.

[stevebot]

Thanks for this, I bumbled around in Juniper docs for an hour and learned nothing and then watched this video and feel confident at beginning with JunOS and getting what I need to do done. Excellent presentation.

Network Direction, automation, and programmability is at the heart of JUNOS, would definitely love to have a good series of JUNOS from a home network to the data center and automation ^^/ I really appreciate the great work and your content. Until the next JUNOS video.

[slimfbiggyansah]

it was a nice and concise video! great work. Would like to see more. It makes me appreciate the ease of working and modeling with YANG compared to SMIv1

[MyGucci]

Great video! Excited to see more JUNOS!

[noorur]

Very good video. I came here wanting to know how to use Jlabs, and got more than what I bargained for. You should definitely do another video for a more complex topology like OSPF or BGP, simply because a number of Cisco users may have difficulties navigating around the Jlabs, not the configuration part.

[scipioj]

Great job! I'll be waiting for the more advanced video

[JarrydS]

Love it! I'm very deep in the Cisco field but likely I'll be having to diversify soon. Great video thanks.

[jairusan]

Hello Network Direction, you have an excellent way to explain, well redacted and with an excellent voice, I can't wait to continue watching the next video about BGP, OSPF, and perhaps site to site IPsec VPNs?

[MrBondshiv]

This was so well presented. Even a kid can understand. Your concepts are super clear. Looking forward to more of these 😎

[thatowensbloke]

Thank you for the introduction to Junos! I hope to start using it soon!

I've worked professionally in the Juniper environment for 5 years, and I never knew about the virtual labs or Olive. Very impressive opening impression of your tutorial content. Also, your vocals and accent are "just right" to my Midwestern ears.

[Vorcha]

Great start! I've been working with Juniper for over 5 years now. A nice command for production, is "Commit confirmed." This will commit the configuration but will rollback the configuration changes if you don;t enter another commit command. This definitely helps when doing remote configuration.

[jasongalvan]

great video, I have 2 Cisco certs and my company barely uses cisco so this is great to see the similarities and differences. Great job!

[keso]

Thank you! We’re starting to use Junipers, this helps.

[zoltron]

this is a very nice video. good to see the differences with ios

[kevinfidler]

Thank you, these videos are very helpful. I am attending the AJEX course in a month and will be hitting up every video and lab I can get my hands on.

Even got my hands on an EX-4300 for a short time.

[stargasm]

Very nice intro vid!! I'll be using Juniper at my job and aim for certification on their products. Keep up the good work!!

[alimanaviat]

what a Perfect training and nice accent! Thanks a bunch
