Written by the instructors and creators of the JNTCP-ER Certification Exams, JUNOS Enterprise Routing is the only comprehensive book for Juniper enterprise and edge routing environments. It offers complete coverage of all the services available to the JUNOS administrator, including JUNOS Enhanced Services (ES).

This book is the official study guide for all three Juniper Enterprise Routing certification exams, and is highly recommended reading to pass the exams. With its field-guide emphasis on practical solutions, you can easily take the book beyond the classroom and into working networks as a design, maintenance, and troubleshooting reference par excellence.

JUNOS Enterprise Routing covers all three certification exams in this track:

• Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate (JNCIA-ER)
• Juniper Networks Certified Internet Specialist (JNCIS-ER)
• Juniper Networks Certified Internet Expert (JNCIE-ER)

With more services such as voice, conference, and multicast on the IP router platform, the market for enterprise routers is growing exponentially, and the need for certified engineers to keep up with network developments in protocols and security is paramount. For everyone who works with Juniper enterprise and edge routing environments, this is a must-have book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Enterprise Routing Coverage, November 15, 2009

This review is from: JUNOS Enterprise Routing: A Practical Guide to JUNOS Software and Enterprise Certification (Paperback)

If you are deploying or managing JUNOS routers in a enterprise network, this is THE book to have. It does not cover service provider topics such as MPLS, ISIS, or advanced BGP. There are plenty of other books that do. Harry and Doug do an excellent job of filling in the gap that was missing. This book explains how complex topics such as IPSec VPNs, NAT/PAT, Stateful Firewall, BGP policy, IGP migration, etc. all work in JUNOS.

This review is from: JUNOS Enterprise Routing: A Practical Guide to JUNOS Software and Enterprise Certification (Paperback)

Not all Juniper books are created equal and this one certainly tops my list.

This guy should win a award for his wit and apparent knowledge exhibited in each chapter. This book helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Well written and easy to understand...AND kept my attention. They put quizzes at the end of each chapter to make sure you 'got it'. This book is a definate must if you use Juniper.

I'd pay money to hear this guy teach a class on this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Approachable, May 3, 2008

This review is from: JUNOS Enterprise Routing: A Practical Guide to JUNOS Software and Enterprise Certification (Paperback)

Many tech books put you to sleep within a few pages, but not this one. This book is extremely readable. The authors have a very engaging writing style, and the talent for teaching shines through. This book presents difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way, and throws in enough humor to make sure you were really paying attention. This book is a valuable every-day reference guide, as well as a roadmap for learning JUNOS and going on to tackle the JNCIE exam.

I had the pleasure of attending a course given by Doug Marschke, and I can say his classes were every bit as wonderful as the book. Doug knows this material inside and out, and he has the teaching skills to be able to share his immense knowledge.
