Security landscape is evolving fast, so fast detection and mitigation is important for customers. Many enterprises are looking to firewall vendors to provide cloud-based malware detection instances to aid them in their advanced threat detection efforts, as a cost-effective alternative to stand-alone sandboxing appliances.
SSL Decryption is one of the key topics, since TLS 1.2 to the TLS 1.3 standard will undoubtedly force changes in how enterprise firewall vendors process the traffic.
Policy Orchestration and Automation Become Critical on SDN deployments, some vendors haven’t provide much attention om this topic. Firewall Services Within IaaS Environments Become an Area of Differentiation.

Do you have an associate-level exam that is coming up for renewal? Rather than retaking the same exam, you can now recertify your certification by passing another associate-level exam.
On September 21, the Juniper Networks Certification Program (JNCP) updated the recertification policies to allow for cross-track recertification for all associate-level exams. If, for example, your JNCIA-Junos certification is coming up for renewal, consider attempting the JNCDA, the JNCIA-Cloud, or the new JNCIA-DevOps certification exam instead. If you pass, not only will you have earned a new certification, but you will have also recertified an existing one.
Plus, you’ll be on your way to earning our new JNCIAx3 or JNCIAx4 multi-certification badges.

Dear Reader,
Thanks to spend your time reading this post on the first day of the new year.
The 2017 was a busy year regards projects and a new area i’ve been exploring myself (Business Development), this is quite new for me but it’s going….
What i mean by Business Development? I’ve been focus only on Engineering (hands-on) which is by far what i really like to do, so i get the implementation plan and GO! Why not dive in the conversation with the customer and understand their challenges, advise what technologies are in the market that really suit them. Presenting cutting-edge technologies and advise the customer is also something i really like.
What do i have for this upcoming year? I’ve done some re-cert’s, like Juniper, VMware and Cisco.
I have do do some re-certs this year too, but i want to focus more on the CCDE than ever, so i’m starting officially today and i hope do the Written in 6 months. I will attend the Cisco Live Barcelona 2018, so i hope get good contacts to push this even further. This is the plan mentally but i know this might has to change a bit.
CCNA Cyber Ops is just around the corner :)
Happy New Year.
Once you got the email from the vendor saying something like “Your certification is about to expire”, the only thing which come to my mind is “Dam it! Again…..”
So long story short, the exam is 120 minutes, 65 questions and the same blueprint from last time. The only change i noticed was the Junos Software release, it is 15.1 now
I used my notes here from my previous studies.
There is another exam to achieve the JNCIP-ENT (JN0-646) which has the same blueprint but uses an Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS). The CLI it’s slightly on switching configs.
I got 73%, so it’s a pass! Maybe i get energy to face the JNCIE before i receive again the famous email “…about to expire”
I don’t remember the price of the JNCIP exam because i did it 3 years ago, but by the priced published by PearsonVue it increased apparently
At the pinnacle of the Data Center certification track is the 1-day JNCIE-DC practical exam. This exam is designed to validate the networking professionals’ ability to deploy, configure, manage, and troubleshoot Junos-based platforms. Throughout this 8-hour practical exam, candidates will build a data center network consisting of multiple MX Series and QFX Series devices. Successful candidates will perform system configuration on all devices including management capabilities, a Clos IP fabric, EVPN/VXVLAN, DCI, and CoS features.
The JNCIE-DC is valid for three years. Recertification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIP-DC exam or by attending a corresponding course.
Exam code: JPR-980
Lab Exam (Hands-on Lab)
Held at selected Juniper Networks testing centers
Exam length: 8 hours
Prerequisite certification: JNCIP-DC
The lab will be available 3 April 2017
Junos Software Release:
Juniper updated their Certification Program with a new Track, SDN and Automation. A Specialist exam (JN0-410) is only available for now, JNCIA is a pre-requirement, but the Professional level should be expected next year (2017). This exam covers SDN foundations, NFV, Contrail and OpenStack Platforms.
This list provides a general view of the skill set required to successfully complete the specified certification exam. Topics listed are subject to change.

The JNCP is offering a recertification grace period to candidates whose certifications expired in 2016. Expired certifications may be renewed between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017 by taking the same or higher level exam or using the Continuing Education option. This means candidates with Specialist through Expert-level certifications that have expired do not have to start at the JNCIA-level.
To renew an expired certification, candidates must pass the appropriate exam or attend an appropriate course by March 31, 2017. See the Recent News section of the Certification Website for instructions on how to take advantage of this offer
Juniper launched the new Champion Program Design Track through the Innovative Level! This new track complements their existing program for Routing, Switching, Security, Enterprise, and Service Provider, featuring the same program policies and reward structure.
Current components of the track are available to achieve Aspiring and Innovative Champion levels; the Ingenious tier is planned for 2017 when the professional-level design certifications become available.
You can find the design track by logging into your Learning Academy account and navigating to the new offering in the “My Curriculum” section.

On July 7, 2016 the JN0-660 Service Provider Routing and Switching exam will be replaced with the JN0-661 Service Provider Routing and Switching exam.
Detailed exam information for the Service Provider Routing and Switching exam can be found here.
“Automation” piece is no covered on new exam
Detailed Exam Objectives include:
“BGP Free Core” is a typical topology in MPLS Service Provider Networks where you run IGP+Label. This allows traffic to transit over devices which don’t know traffic final destination, instead they look only for labels, bring more performance at the end. MPLS allow applications such as L2VPN, L3VPN and much more.
In normal forwarding traffic towards to destination will go hop-by-hop (lookup next-hop) until reach destination

CSR-4#show mpls forwarding-table
no MPLS apps enabled or MPLS not enabled on any interfaces
On MPLS we have LIB and LFIB. LIB essentially holds all the labels and associated information, while LFIB do the forwarding based on incoming labeled packets. CEF is a pre-requirement to run MPLS.
For MPLS the routing table (RIB) still the same as we see on Normal Forwarding.
This is the LFIB table….
Doing a trace to R1 we get a labeled path
Juniper have announced this week of his lab grade system improvement, so you will have to wait 3-5 business days instead 15 business days.
