Preface


This book is designed to be an introduction to the Juniper Networks family of Internet routers and the Juniper Networks Operating System (JUNOS). During the past several years , Juniper Networks has grown immensely and captured a large share of the Internet-router market, replacing Cisco in advanced routing solutions. Independent organizations using industry-recognized test standards have identified Juniper Networks as the leader in Internet and carrier-class core routing solutions. They have taken this lead and developed an extremely effective router architecture and command-line interface (CLI) to become the single largest threat to the dominance of Cisco Systems.

There is no doubt that the bookshelves are seeing more and more space dedicated to the Juniper Networks product line. This book stands apart from the others because of its range and depth: It covers the basics of Juniper Networks' product line, provides concise explanations of internetworking theory, and contains detailed examples that will enable a network engineer to configure the products. The chapters contained herein walk readers through how Juniper Networks was formed and the industry need that its foundation answered . A little background is good, but most network engineers want the technical details of the topic. This book delves immediately into the architecture of a Juniper Networks router and the intricacies of JUNOS. If you are new to JUNOS, these chapters cover all you need to know, from logging into the router to ensuring you have enough knowledge to pass the Juniper Networks Certified Internet Specialist (JNCIS) examination. If you are experienced , then the tested configuration examples provided throughout the book will challenge you and provide vital references for application in your network.

Juniper Networks is rapidly becoming the leader in shaping technology that affects the Internet. This book focuses on the Internet building-block technologies, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and policies; however, we also look to the future with in-depth coverage of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and virtual private networks (VPNs). In addition, this book contains a high level of information about the entire range of products and the technologies behind them. This powerful approach gives you a deeper understanding of the business drives and corporate culture that other books will not provide.
