[j-nsp] Practice lab environments, any suggestions?

[Scott Granados]

Hi,
I?m starting down the path of certifications and wondering what people use for practice labs in terms of hardware? I did some googling but have mostly found rack rental services. Is this the primary method? Is there anyone putting together bundles for sale of used equipment like you might find for Cisco hardware? If not what hardware do people suggest for a home lab that?s reasonably cost effective. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Any pointers to pre made kits or other solutions would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

something like this might be overkill, but might save you a lot of money on
rack rentals if you plan on spending loads of time on this.

It also depends on what certifications you're going for. Also need to keep
in mind that EX2200 and EX3200, while capable of virtual chassis, do not
have dedicated virtual chassis ports. None of those devices will let you
do some of the switching features necessary for SP exams, and the J2300 and
J4300 are end of sale. I haven't used the J series, but if they require a
different Junos image than the J4350 or J2320, it may be difficult to find
a new(er) Junos image.

I would honestly just buy a few EX4200s and use Junos Firefly (or whatever
it's called now) for the routing. If you can afford it, Junosphere is
excellent. Not that it's expensive, but it does cost money, and if you
don't use it for a significant portion of the day, it can be a "waste" of
money. Junosphere is due for v4 soon (there used to be a notice about
potential downtime while systems are upgraded to support it--or something
to that effect).

You would have to compete with Junosphere and iNetZero. Junosphere is
virtualized, on-demand so has some pretty big draw (for me at least)
because I don't need to worry about scheduling with regards to other
people. There's a lot of overhead in rolling your own service (creating a
scheduling system, automatic rollback of configs at X time, creating the
website, getting your name out there, etc). Otherwise, if you could
compete with price/features of Junosphere and iNetZero (I'm not aware of
any other major virtual lab providers that don't inherently have a VAS
[Proteus used to offer a remote proctored IE mock lab, for example]), I
don't see why not.

So VFIrefly is a good idea. I happen to have a copy from the time I was working for J. I can probably get a good part of the way with that. I?ve seen some pretty complicated topologies created using that environment. Basically it seems to be a virtual SRX which you can then put in to packet mode and make simulate a J series router. Might be a good low cost starting point.

As Hugo mentioned, L2VPN/VPLS/Multicast will be a problem with any
virtualized product that you run on your machines (Firefly, Olive).
Junosphere can be used for these, though. They might eventually release
Junosphere for consumer use, but who knows.

Buy the cheapest l3 switch that works for you and get JunOS firefly --

It does most things you could see yourself doing anytime soon.

Which of the certification tracks are you going for? Because eventually,
each will be different!

Two options to start out the way I see it?. Grabbing a few SRX?s or even
old J-series off EBay are good. JUNOS is JUNOS at the beginning levels.
Eventually things separate though.

An MX would be another good option. A single MX with good amount of
interfaces can be split into multiple routers using logical systems.
Other devices can too, but there are more limitations that seem to get in
the way and make life more complicated on non-MX devices IMHO.

Good luck in your studies!

Scott

something like this might be overkill, but might save you a lot of money on
rack rentals if you plan on spending loads of time on this.

Hi,
I?m starting down the path of certifications and wondering what people use
for practice labs in terms of hardware? I did some googling but have
mostly found rack rental services. Is this the primary method? Is there
anyone putting together bundles for sale of used equipment like you might
find for Cisco hardware? If not what hardware do people suggest for a home
lab that?s reasonably cost effective. Any suggestions would be most
appreciated. Any pointers to pre made kits or other solutions would also
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
