Juniper Certifications?

fusebox

Has anyone ever considered studying Juniper certifications? I know in the world of networking their market share is small compared to cisco. So I was wondering if anyone knows much about these or has ever considered doing it.

I've heard of them, but I've never considered doing it.

I would think second learning anything vendor specific.

It would be a waste of time memorizing commands or where a button locates if you never use it.

I *hate* Juniper routers. I have a pair of M5's sitting off to the side of me and they've been nothing short of a pain in the rear. The newer stuff isn't any fun to look at either. Cisco equipment is sooo much easier to work with

That probably explains in part to why their market share is much less than Cisco.

Although everynow and then I see employment opportunities requiring their certs.

You might want to look at the last quarters reports. Juniper just took some market share back from Cisco. Juniper equipment have their place. They don't cover all the areas Cisco do...but it is still worth learning. I have been looking at there certifications for a little while...I just haven't jumped on it. I do not think that you will be hurting yourself by learning Juniper stuff. but this is just my opinion..
