JNCIA opinions?

Bert McGert

I'm close to finishing my last test for CCNP and my boss is asking us to get JNCIA certified given some new Juniper purchases that we've made.

I'm curious to hear your opinions on the JNCIA test and how you feel it compares to the CCNA or CCNP tests. I'm one of the always-been-Cisco folks now seeing the light of Juniper.

I appreciate any insight or recommendations for approach to the cert!

If you are looking at JNCIA-M track.. there is Harry's book available. Best resource ever...
If you are looking at JNCIA-ER track.. there is the fast track that is available on Juniper site which gives you a lot of information....

Which is easier... I think the initial Juniper Associate exams are easier compared to Cisco... But this is my personal opinion...

Welcome to the world of Juniper Bert!

There's lots of great Juniper resources like what Hoogen mentioned. He pointed out the Fast Track program which is geared towards people who know Cisco and want to learn Juniper. Seems to fit ya quiet well

For M/T(service provider) stuff check out the thread here that gives a link to the pdf versions of those books.

And for the enterprise level stuff I'd recommend picking up the JUNOS Enterprise Routing book.

I'll be taking the CCNA in a couple of weeks so I'll be able to comment on your other question then I've heard similar things to what Hoogen said about the difficulty difference.
