Course Overview
This two-day course provides students with advanced class-of-service (CoS) knowledge and configuration examples. The course begins with an overview of CoS before going into classification, policing, scheduling, and rewriting. The course then covers class-based forwarding and finishes with case studies that reenforce topics.

Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience in configuring and monitoring the JUNOS Software and monitoring basic device operations.

Course Objective

  • Understand the history and evolution of CoS.
  • Identify the CoS fields in various packet headers.
  • List the CoS processing stages on devices running the Junos OS.
  • Identify the default CoS settings on devices running the Junos OS.
  • Configure and verify behavior aggregate (BA) and multifield (MF) classification.
  • Configure and verify two-color and tricolor marking policers.
  • Configure and verify schedulers and their components.
  • Configure and verify the multiple levels of hierarchical schedulers.
  • Configure and verify packet header rewriting.
  • Configure and verify class-based forwarding.
  • Create a CoS configuration based on a set of design requirements.
