Junos Cookbook: Time-Saving Techniques for Junos Software Configuration

I would give this book six stars, if it were possible. This book presents a hands-on guide to JunOS. From installation and upgrade to routing protocols and MPLS -- this books spills the beans. The author provides "recipes" to acheive common routing tasks on JunOS quickly and without fluff. There are no filler chapters on theory, design, and protocols. Just plenty and plenty of practical, extremely useful recipes. For anyone with a Cisco background, this book will get you up and running quickly with JunOS. Using this book, I was able to: 1) install JunOS; 2) upgrade JunOS; 3) configure NTP; 4) configure network interfaces; 5) configure BGP and ISIS; 6) enable a packet sniffer for troubleshooting purposes; 7) configure RADIUS authentication; 8) backup and restore JunOS configurations over the network; 9) and enable ssh access to a router running JunOS. That's just scratching the surface of what this book covers. The more I read it, the more I learn -- and the more JunOS impressed me. The absolutely best technology book I've purchased this year. Highly, highly recommend it to anyone using JunOS or moving to JunOS.

Realy helpfull, all the basic configuration otes that you need for a simple network

The 'JUNOS Cookbook' by Avivia Garrett is a great resource for learning about JUNOS software. Filled with 650+ pages of material, this book will enable you to learn about setup, configuration, and all the ins and outs of this technology so you can better administrate and get more done in less time!!! For anyone that works with JUNOS on a daily basis, this is a great reference book to have by your side, written in typical fantastic O'Reilly fashion. ***** RECOMMENDED

Aviva's flair for concise explanation makes this book a real joy. It's rare that I read just one recipe. If you want a concentrated dose of JUNOS that's sweet and easy to swallow, then get this book.

Even though you've been configuring or operating Juniper routers for long time and you think you are familiar enough with JUNOS, you'll still learn something you don't know from this book; the "Problem/Solution/Discussion/See Also" structure helps to quickly find and read the exact information you need and nothing more, if you don't need to, just like you would use a standard dictionary. If you operate a Juniper router from time to time, or even on a daily basis, this book should be always on your desk, handy to grab, so you can use it whenever you need to answer a configuration or operational question, when you exhausted reading the standard configuration guides and the online help, and just before calling for help from a friend or from Juniper's Technical Assistance Center (JTAC).
