That's just like your own opinion man (Big Lebowski). Cisco IOS is in fact extremely intuitive, there is nothing intuitive about the JunOS IMHO. I will get my JNCIE just to have it, but why in the world would I possibly deploy it in production when Cisco's gear is flawless? Configuration rollback and grep (OMG - what an invention - grep!), what else? Seriously, am I missing out on something absolutely awesome that I don't have on my 6500's? Just a personal feedback regarding Cisco's service - they have been awesome. 24x7x365, never had an issue with them, equipment is rock solid (one port on the 2950 shocked with the static electricity charge - Cisco replaced it without asking any questions).

I would pick up an old J-series to play with. The JunOS CLI and configuration structure is extremely intuitive. Once you've found your way around the CLI, I would work through Team Cymru's JunOS templates: http://www.cymru.com/gillsr/documents/junos-template.htm http://www.cymru.com/gillsr/documents/junos-bgp-template.pdf And then pick up a copy of O'Reilly's JunOS Cookbook and Addison Wesley's Juniper Networks Reference Guide. The j-nsp list is very helpful as well. Be warned though - once you've started using JunOS you will never, ever want to go back to IOS. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cartier Sent: Friday, 11 April 2008 11:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] Wanting to learn Juniper... I'm fairly well versed in the Cisco devices and the configuration of those devices through the CLI using Cisco IOS...but I'm curious, and up for the learning experience, of starting to familiarize myself with Juniper. I'm looking for some insight on the best approach to do this? I prefer hands on...so I was thinking maybe some practice gear off ebay...and if so, what model would be right for my goal. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
