This intermediate Juniper JNCIP-SP training prepares learners to take the JN0-663 exam, which is the one required exam to earn the Juniper Networks Certified Professional: Service Provider (JNCIP-SP) certification.
This Juniper Networks Certified Professional: Service Provider (JNCIP-SP) training is intended for advanced networking professionals -- it’s meant to validate more advanced routing and switching knowledge and abilities than the specialist-level certification. This training covers concepts like Layer 2 and 3 virtual private networks (VPNs), IP multicasting, Class of Service processing and IS-IS functionality. A significant step up from entry-level routing and switching, earning this certification is a statement of expertise and proficiency in managing a network on the scale of what a service provider would need.
For anyone who manages network engineers, this JNCIP-SP training can be used for JN0-663 exam prep, on-boarding new network engineers, or as part of a team training plan.
