Course Overview
This four-day course introduces Paragon Automation applications including Paragon Pathfinder, Paragon Planner, and Paragon Insights. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will learn the capabilities of these applications including WAN topology discovery, segment routing-traffic engineering (SR-TE) and RSVP- signaled label-switched path (LSP) management, Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) LSP discovery and provisioning, label-switched path (LSP) optimization, LSP calendaring, maintenance scheduling, point-to-multipoint (P2MP), LSP management, failure simulation, reporting, network modeling, path demand placement, hardware inventory collection, network telemetry collection, and closed-loop automation. Students learn to configure and monitor these features on a WAN consisting of vMX Series devices. This course is based on Junos version 22.4R1.10 and Paragon Automation version 23.1.
