M-series & T-series Certification Track

The Juniper Networks Technical Certification Program (JNTCP) M-series and T-series certification track is a multitiered program that allows participants to demonstrate, through a combination of written proficiency exams and hands-on configuration and troubleshooting exams, competence with Juniper Networks technology. Successful candidates demonstrate thorough understanding of Internet technology in general and Juniper Networks M-series routers, T-series routing platforms, and JUNOS software in particular.

M-series & T-series Track

JNCIE or JNCIP-certified individuals receive special access to certified JTAC engineers on priority 1 and 2 cases for any product under an active support contract. This enhanced access is only available for products in that area of certification. With this privilege, you expedite your case resolution time by making the most of your certification knowledge while gaining quicker access to senior JTAC engineers.

You may initiate a case by contacting JTAC, either by phone or utilizing the CSC Case Manager tool. As part of the case logging process, any JNCIE or JNCIP is automatically identified by our system and routed directly to certified JTAC resources.

Designed for experienced networking professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of the Juniper Networks M-series routers, T-series routing platforms, and JUNOS software, this written exam verifies the candidate's basic understanding of Internet technology and related platform configuration and troubleshooting skills.

JNCIA-M exam topics are based on the content of the Configuring Juniper Networks Routers-M (CJNR-M) instructor led training course. Just as the CJNR-M is the first class most students attend when beginning their study of Juniper Networks M-series routers (and T-series routers and JUNOS software), the JNCIA-M exam will be the first certification exam most attempt. This exam is NOT a prerequisite for the JNCIS-M exam.

The JNCIA-M certification is valid for two years. Recertification is achieved by passing the current version of the JNCIA-M exam.

Exam topics include:
Operation, configuration and troubleshooting, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and RIP), protocol independent routing properties, routing policy, firewall filters, MPLS, and multicast.
