This advanced Juniper Multicast training prepares learners to recognize and configure multicast traffic in a Juniper network, making one-to-many transmissions much more efficient.
In the language of the internet, Internet Protocol (IP), there are three ways of addressing a packet so that every device in the world can recognize where it's headed: unicast, broadcast and multicast. Of those three, multicast is the only way to address a packet to multiple recipients based on their interest in receiving it. Unicast is one-to-one, and broadcast disseminates regardless of the recipient's interest in the transmission.
Multicast is applicable to network traffic that supports things like collaborative software, teleconferences, "push" data networks, VR sims and much more. With this Juniper Multicast training, you'll know how to set-up multicast networks, configure their traffic and optimize the network.
Once you're done with this Juniper skills training, you'll know how to recognize and configure multicast traffic in a Juniper network, making one-to-many transmissions much more efficient.
For anyone who manages network administrators, this Juniper training can be used to onboard new network administrators, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Juniper reference resource.
Juniper Multicast: What You Need to Know
This Juniper Multicast training has videos that cover topics such as:
- Delivering one-to-many traffic flows in the most efficient manner possible
- Configuring multicast addresses based on the recipient's need or interest

- Understanding Dense mode and Sparse mode
- Deploying IGMP snooping and Bootstrap Router (BSR)
Who Should Take Juniper Multicast Training?
This Juniper Multicast training is considered associate-level Juniper training, which means it was designed for network administrators. This Junos OS skills course is valuable for new IT professionals with at least a year of experience with multicast and experienced network administrators looking to validate their Juniper skills.
New or aspiring network administrators. For brand new network administrators, mastering multicast early in your career is something of a differentiator. With this Juniper Multicast training, you'll be able to set yourself apart and be much more useful to your employer right away — able to troubleshoot, optimize and configure multicast traffic on your Juniper network.
Experienced network administrators. Multicast configuration is a skill that most network administrators gain after several years of experience. But if you've found yourself focusing on different aspects of network administration, with this training you'll quickly be brought up to speed on configuring your networks for multicast traffic or optimizing the multicast traffic they already have.
