After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:
•    Describe the various OSPF link-state advertisement (LSA) types.
•    Explain the flooding of LSAs in an OSPF network.
•    Describe the shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithm.
•    List key differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
•    Describe OSPF area types and operations.
•    Configure various OSPF area types.
•    Summarize and restrict routes.
•    Identify some scenarios in a service provider network that can be solved using routing
•    policy or specific configuration options.

This course benefits individuals responsible for implementing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Layer 3 components of a service provider’s network.

Students should have intermediate-level networking knowledge and an understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and the TCP/IP protocol suite. Students should also attend the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) and Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR) courses prior to attending this class.
