Juniper MX Series - 2nd Edition by Douglas Hanks & Harry Reynolds & David Roy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Discover why routers in the Juniper MX Series--with their advanced feature sets and record-breaking scale--are so popular among enterprises and network service providers. This revised and expanded edition shows you step-by-step how to implement high-density, high-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet services, using advanced firewall filters, redundant inline services, powerful CoS tool sets, and many other Juniper MX features.
