great.......2007-07-18

Book is easy to read and understand. Most books like this are so technical that they dont make any sense. Has some repitition to burn important things into your head. I wish more networking books were like this.

Broad coverage - poor in the details.......2007-06-11

Definitively one of the worst technical publications I've ever bought.

This book will be useful only if you want to gain a general understanding on how netscreen firewalls work, but under no circumstance this should be considered a technical reference, or configuration guide.

HUGE lack of examples, and those present are extremely simplistic. Just driving through clicking on the NetscreenOS interface is not an example. The book is also plagued of grammatical inconsistencies.

After having read each one of its 743 pages I'm still on the same place I was before starting.

If you need a little more detail on what's behind the NetScreen & SSG architecture, use the Reference Guide from Juniper (more than 2,000 pages of rich examples, scenarios, and explanations... and the best... FREE!!!). That's exactly what I'm doing now.

To the publishers: thank you for making me post my first review ever.

A Golden Opportunity.......2007-03-28

Really good Juniper Networks security documentation is still lacking and the free info is typically better. There is still a golden opportunity for a technical author to write a really good book on best-practice design and implementation, to effectively leverage and integrate Juniper technology -- not just more reference material.

Helpful.......2007-03-10

Got this for a friend so that he could use it to learn and increase his knowledge of the products to further his career. He said its a very helpful book.

Broad coverage, but limited by production nits.......2007-01-02

Juniper NetScreen firewalls have become a market leader for performance and features, and it's no wonder: they really are that good. As such, more people need to learn how to use them and configure them to do a wide range of activities. With this in mind, "Configuring Juniper Networks NetScreen & SSG Firewalls" attempts to fill that gap.

This book is similar to the well known and respected books from Cisco Press, and is basically a large scale product manual. As such, it's important to compare it both to the Cisco Press books in terms of production quality and clarity, and also to the docs that Juniper provides for free on their website. When you make this comparison, you find that "Configuring Juniper Networks NetScreen & SSG Firewalls" comes up short in both areas. That's not to say it isn't trying, but there are enough problems to make it just an average book.

Chapter 1 is the common basic firewall and Internet threat overview. Nothing too groundbreaking, and probably included for completeness. Chapter 2 is a nice overview of the Juniper Netscreen product line, and some of the basic concepts and technologies within them. Again, useful and probably included for completeness.

Chapter 3 covers "Deploying Juniper firewalls", focusing on basic options and introducing you to the web-based UI. Most of the material here is available in the online help or the free Juniper docs. Most of the instructions in this chapter are clear. Chapter 4 focuses on policy configuration and uses both the UI and the CLI to do so. Again, stuff that you can pick up with the free docs (granted the CLI help isn't as rich as docs, but the help is there nonetheless, especially for the UI), and again the presentation and examples are pretty clear.

Chapter 5 covers advanced policy configuration ideas, but focuses on bandwidth management. Some decent material here, but some of the CLI stuff gets a bit long and you can start to drown in it if you're not careful. Chapter 6 covers user authentication, and by this point the book (which, admittedly, is a reference book at heart) gets to be mind numbing. I started noticing some production errors here, usually in the typeface and presentation of the material. Some of the "settings" stuff gets to be a bit unclear to me at times, perhaps I need to study it more closely.

Chapter 7 covers routing (ie RIP, OSPF, BGP) and virtual routers. The size of this chapter and its examples is huge (100 pages), and if you're not careful you'll go blind. Again, this doesn't have much over the free Juniper docs, which are a bit better organized. Chapter 8 is a bit more managable (50 pages or so) and covers address translation (NAT, PAT, etc). at times it just becomes a series of examples, but the presentation is similar to the previous chapters. Not much over the free Juniper docs. Chapter 9 is another similar chapter and covers transparent mode. Decent presentation and examples, a few nits here and there that I find in this set of chapters.

Chapter 10 covers attack detection and defense, and I think the material is better organized than the more traditional networking materials. The examples are fewer and more focused.

Chapter 11 covers VPNs and was surprisingly short. The configuration stuff is either surprisingly simple and foolproof to set up or this chapter was very hit and run. The screenshots in this chapter are probably the weakest in the whole book, but in general they suffice. I'd probably say hit the Juniper docs, instead. Chapter 12, covering high availability (failover, redundancy, etc) is better, and has more examples and material. I think this is one of the better chapters balancing presentation and examples.

Chapter 13 covers troubleshooting, but I would have expected a bit more material. Perhaps if you pair it with the previous chapters on specific matters and features it would help. Chapter 14 ends the book with a tidy, concise and pretty clear unit on virtual systems (ie sub-interfaces).

Before you buy this book, you should look at the free documentation for ScreenOS and many Juniper products. I suspect that you'll find that their quality meets what you want, and they're clear and concise. That said, review this book (see if you can look inside and flip through it), seeing if it's worth the price for you. "Configuring Juniper Networks NetScreen & SSG Firewalls" attempts to be the authoritative source of information on NetScreen devices and does OK, but there are enough nits in the presentation and production to warrant any potential buyers to really compare it to the existing docs.

Book Description

The Juniper Networks routing platforms are becoming the go-to solution for core, edge, metro and remote office networks, and JUNOS software is behind it all. The operating system is so full of industrial-strength routing protocols and IP innovations that those treading into the world of JUNOS will need clarification, explanation, and a showcase example or two. Look no further. This JUNOS Cookbook provides it all and more.

Yes, you can mine through the 5,000 pages of documentation or take a two-thousand-dollar training course, but JUNOS's interprocess sophistication can be baffling unless you know the shortcuts and tricks, as well as those rays of illuminating comprehension that can come only from those who live with it. JUNOS Cookbook

is the first comprehensive book about JUNOS software and it provides over 200 time-saving step-by-step techniques including discussions about the processes and alternative ways to perform the same task. It's been tested and tech-reviewed by field engineers who know how to take JUNOS out for a spin and it's applicable to the entire line of M-, T-, and J-series routers. JUNOS Cookbook will not only pay for itself the first few times you use it, it will make your network easier to manage and update.

"Aviva Garrett has done a tremendous job of distilling the features of JUNOS software in a form that will be useful for a wide audience-students, field engineers, network architects, and other networking professionals alike will benefit from this book. For many people, this is the only book on JUNOS they will need." Pradeep Sindhu, CTO and Founder, Juniper Networks

"This cookbook is superb. Aviva Garrett has masterfully assembled a complete set of practical real-world examples with step-by-step instructions. Security, management, routing: it's all here!" Stephen Gill, Research Fellow, Team Cymru

"A technical time-saver for any NOC or SOC working with JUNOS. It's clear, concise, and informative recipes are are an invaluable resource. " Scott A. McIntyre, Security Officer, XS4ALL Internet B.V

Worth its weight in GOLD!.......2007-07-30

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.

Greate book for configuring stuff.......2007-03-09

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

Great JUNOS Reference.......2007-01-05

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

The JUNOS Cookbook is a real joy.......2006-07-18

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.

Great reference for even JUNOS experts.......2006-05-05

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).

Very Good Study Guide - Test Engine Could Be Better.......2006-10-15

The text is joy to read; it is both lucid and succinct. However, with a 2003 copyright, it is beginning to show its age. There is no mention of Juniper's new routers, such as the M320 or the T-series, though these might not be covered on the JNCIA exam. And the preferred placement of some configuration statements within the JUNOS hierarchy has changed in more recent JUNOS releases.

Many of the questions included with the test engine include 15-20 line snippets of JUNOS configuration. Unfortunately, the test engine only allows a few lines of a question to be displayed at any time, so scrolling is needed to read such questions. Moreover, the test engine provides no facility for remembering from session to session which questions you answered right and wrong so that you can limit the questions presented in a later session to only those previously missed. The assessment test and end of chapter questions are printed in the book, so pencil and paper methods may work better for these.

Great Study Guide.......2004-01-07

I highly recommend this book as a review for the associates exam. I hadn't touched a Juniper in two years this study guide got me through recertification.

Good book - Helps alot with the exam.......2003-12-29

The book does a good job at preparation for the JNCIA exam. It goes over each topic well, and gives some good real world examples that make sense. Be prepared though, this is not a CCNA type exam that asks you theory and questions that do not apply to real life (ie. classful routing). This book (and exam) do concentrate on operational aspects, so the book does a good job at introducing CLI commands and the JunOS CLI architecture. It is recommended that you get ahold of a Juniper box to play around in to get the hang of things.

I have to disagree with the authors writing about the BGP architecture on the Internet, though. To state that only Tier 1 ISP's connect at exchange points (atleast how it was depicted in a drawing) is completely wrong. And usage of the Tier1/Tier2/Tier3 names should not be used in todays internet. Today plenty of people are paying for peering from some of the larger networks out there to give themselves the image of "Tier 1". It seems perhaps the authors should be more aware of real ISP operations in respects to how peering is actually done on the Internet today (ie. read the peering playbook by Bill Norton).

JNCIA: Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate Study G.......2003-06-05

This is a great book! It will not give you the test questions and answers for the test. What it will provide is a great source of information relating to routing and an introduction to Juniper's routers. The depth of information in Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate Study Guide is sufficient to pass the test. The questions in the book and on the CD require the same level of understanding as the actual JNCIA exam. In fact I scored the same on the bonus exams (located on the CD) as I did on the actual test. I have been working with Cisco equipment for over eight year and with Juniper routers for a little over a year. I have my CCNP and CCDP. With my background, this book and three weeks, now I have my JNCIA certification. Don't take the JNCIA certification test lightly. I would rate it at the same level as the CCNP and CCDP. With this book and some time you should be able to pass the exam.

Buy Harry's book! I took Juniper factory training from Harry around 2001. He was an absolutely wonderful teacher, and a genuine expert in both JUNOS and IP networking in general. You could tell he had real-world experience to support his system knowledge as a Juniper staffer. If he writes even half as well as he teaches, this is sure to be a great resource.

Superb book superb quality.......2005-01-15

If you are appearing for JNCIP or read how the routing protocols operate in a multi protocol environment with Juniper routers, your best bet is JNCIP book. The book covers lot of scenarios and case studies in great detail. The author/editors need to be commended for such scintillating efforts on publishing a very good book on Juniper routers. This book not only can be used for preparing for the JNCIP exam but also you can put it in your library for reference. But one thing is for sure, this is a great book and better to have a copy f it. I have benefitted by going through this book.

Out of Date But Still Largely Relevant and Useful .......2005-06-17

Juniper has a chunk of what once was Cisco's core routing business, but it has a very small fraction of published pages in this area. This book is from 2002 and is still one of only a handful of books available on the M and T Series in the service provider space. It also refers to a lot of obsolete products (M5, M10, M40 and the infamous M160). Even with that, and the fact that it's kind of a "meta documentation" book rather than a case study guide or design reference as Cisco might put out, this is still a pretty useful book.

JUNOS and its many advantages over IOS (way more stable and secure, typically higher performing, commit/rollback capabilities, far better high availability features) are not that different than what they were three years ago, and this book explains them quite well. The architecture of Juniper routers is also the same, both in terms of the separate routing and packet forwarding engines, and the midplane design of the hardware with port interface cards (PICs) and flexible PIC concentrators (FPC).

In a sense, it's more likely that a single Juniper book can cover a variety of platforms over the course of several years than it would be for Cisco. The upgrade procedures for Juniper are far simpler, and there is only a single code train for all platforms, whereas figuring out how to pick the right version of IOS can be quite a chore.

Still, there are a lot of Juniper enhancements that are not covered here and that really should be available in something more than the online docs. For instance, VPLS completely antedates this book, and Juniper's MPLS support includes some a very nice enhancement to RSVP (e.g., the point to multipoint LSP) which outdoes anything Cisco has for transmitting broadcast video across backbone networks. Also, the E Series for broadband aggregation and service routing is not mentioned at all. Finally, the products that came from the NetScreen acquisition offer some unique power and flexibility in terms of being able to set up managed services; this should be covered in a follow-on volume as well.

But the good news is that (due to Juniper's consistency) the current material is valid and will be helpful for current M and T series routers. Although the configuration snippets throughout the book are mostly documentation syntax (instead of real examples), there is an extensive configurations chapter for ATM, BGP, ISIS, and Layer 3 MPLS VPNs. So I'd give the book three stars, though when it came out it would have been four. Still, it's time for someone to start publishing some service provider oriented books that explain how to configure revenue-generating services for network operators that have been hung out to dry by Cisco's "Love the Internet whether it makes you profitable or not" philosophy.

Excellent precis of Juniper's documentation.......2002-11-19

This book serves as an excellent precis of the full JUNOS and Juniper hardware documentation set. Written by senior staff in Juniper's own technical publications team, it is sufficiently small for a field engineer to have on hand when working in the field and sufficiently detailed that a user can configure most features without referring to any other documentation.

For those looking for in depth reviews of how the protocols work, this isn't the book you want (there are numerous books providing the gory details of all the protocol behaviour). If you just want to know how to build, operate and troubleshoot a Juniper network, this is the book you need.

This i believe is one of the best Juniper reference books i have come across. I have read and used within my job the complete reference by Matt Kolon and Jeff Doyle, aswell as other books. However this reference guide seems to cover the essential aspects of the more upto date Junos versions.
This is an excellent book that is well presented and easy to read, which has to be the killing point, i found the book written as if i where actually speaking to some of the people i know at Juniper through my company.
I passed my JNCIS by this book, I am recommending this book to all my friends who are scattered across various ISP's in the european region that have also implemented Juniper at the amsterdam internet exchange, london internet exchange etc across europe..

Excellent Juniper Content: For certification or reference.......2003-10-24

Harry's JNCIP and JNCIE books won't put you to sleep or remind you of free documentation that is available on the Internet. They cover each JUNOS feature in-depth and apply the features to a "lab network" throughout each chapter. I believe I own every book published with Juniper content and these stand out in my collection. You won't find chapters wasting time with an overview of TCP/IP, the OSI model, or basic IP routing. Buy these books even if you not are taking the lab exams. They will help with the your real world configurations of all the IGPs, BGP, MPLS, VPNs, CoS, IPv6, and multicast protocols. I think they are great for the Cisco engineers that need to get up to speed with Juniper M-series routers. These books belong with the Jeff Doyle books that are already on our bookshelves.

The titles of the book and exam match! What else do you need?.......2007-04-09

Read this book, pass this test.

As far as being a reference for this information without regard to the certification, I like it.

It is well written and makes sense. I have several other certifications (MCSE NTv3.51 '97 through CCIE '00 and CCVP '06) and this book works as well or better than the books I had for those certifications.

If you don't mind an electronic copy, the PDF of this book has been made available without cost on Juniper's web site.

Excelent book for network engineers.......2005-08-17

It is very suitable book for JNCIS candidates. You need deep network knowledge before read it. JNCIA study guide is a good supplement. To pass an exam own hands-on experience with JN routers is very helpful.

A good supplemental reference.......2004-10-19

I got this book after I had already passed my JNCIS, but I still find it very valuable. I used it to help strengthen my understanding of JUNOS and the networking topics I was weak in. This book is a great supplement to the JUNOS reference materials available online which so often tell you vaguely what a command does, but don't give you any context for why you might need to use it. It provides good examples and gives good descriptions of what is going on and shows how to verify behavior with the CLI. I like to carry the CD with my laptop for reference.

The book assumes that the reader has at least a JNCIA level of experience, so it skips most of the introductory topics such as CLI and hardware architecture covered in the JNCIA guide. Although I think that a person could pass the JNCIS if they just studied this book very well, it would be much easier if they have some basic knowledge and experience with Juniper M and T series routers (at least at the "JNCIA level").

A good preparation guide.......2004-07-01

This book does a good job of explaining the different networking topics in a simple and clear manner. The topics covered in the book are comprehensive and more than sufficient to prepare the reader for the JNCIS test.

The book also has enough details to serve as a useful networking reference guide for readers who has already passed the JNCIS exam.

Solid Prep Material.......2004-06-29

Comprehensive, clear and accurate coverage of all areas of the JNCIS exam. Complicated subjects are discussed in depth, with explanatory diagrams and sample configurations.

Topics range from a demonstration of how OSPF calculates routes, with a sideline discussion of the new standard Graceful Restart to splitting multicast traffic onto different links than unicast traffic in a network that carries both types of traffic.

There is coverage of items that seem to often come up in Juniper study discussions, such as the differences between Martini and Compella layer 2 VPNs, for example, as well as example scenarios and sample configurations that show you how to get them working in your lab or in real life.

Book Description

This comprehensive reference is the first book available that explains the configuration and operation of Juniper technology, products, and the protocol implementation behind it. Written by a team of Juniper engineers, this book covers Juniper's award winning M-series router family and explains how the Juniper Network Operating System (JunOS) works, and why it is perceived to be superior to other operating systems. Each chapter includes insider tips and details for set-up--plus useful shortcuts and commands for getting the job done faster.

absolutely disappointed.......2005-03-22

Though I have already known this book is not good , there is only one kind of published book about juniper in china : The complete reference. key. The only worth reading chapter is chapter 8 : Routing Information Protocol. I wonder that how can
this book was named "complete reference " without IPv6 and Multicast . haha

Disappointed.......2002-09-24

Seeing that Juniper was banking on the name of Jeff Doyle to get this book to sell, I had expected much better. Unfortunately this book resembles a hurriedly baked semi-cooked apple pie [some of the authors must have delayed writing until the very last moment].

As another reviewer pointed out this book suffers from "too many cooks spoil the broth". The chapter on RIP was good [written by Jeff Doyle], but is followed by OSPF theory [English appears to be the author's second or third language; which makes for a lot of head scratching and referencing other books to make sense of things].

Overall I can safely say that the book was an attempt in the right direction and would have fared much better had Juniper's documentation department not rushed it out and had sitten with the authors and atleast taken one good look at the book before it went to the publishers. This could have avoided gaffes like on page 551 the figure of IS-IS PDU type has nothing in it!!

A cheaper option would be to study the protocol basics from better books and then use juniper's documentation to configure your routers.

Excellent review of JUNOS and great ref on integrated ISIS.......2002-09-11

As others have pointed out you can read the Juniper technical publications and IETF drafts and RFCs instead of this book. I find that opinion interesting since almost ALL technical books dealing with IP technology one could say the same and they all heavily borrow from the actual RFCs/drafts.

My point is, this book is no different than other books in it's field meaning you could read a volume of books/publications that has 10,000's of pages stacked on your floor or you could get a condensed version of all that by reading The complete ref for Juniper Networks Routers.

What you won't get in the IETF drafts/RFC's and Juniper technical publications is the step by step how-to reference on setting up the various configs using JUNOS along with a description of what is occurring. You also are not sickened with any idiotic marketing hype that is always in Cisco IOS books which makes one wonder who wrote them (marketing or an actual engineer). Pretty much they give you a straightforward guide on how to setup JUNOS without a bunch of fluff.

It's a great reference on JUNOS overall and probably the BEST (far better than Doyle's IOS chapter on ISIS) reference on integrated ISIS outside of reading the ISO specs (which can be annoying to read compared to an RFC!!!).

a must have for all noc's!!!.......2002-05-28

an excellent book for an indepth understanding of routing protocols with emphasis on bgp & mpls, basically stuff from an isp's prespective. don't worry too much on typo's and spelling mistakes(found only in chapter 6), this book is techincally sound overall.

gives a lot of references to rfc's, has a lot of examples & real life scenario's....read it to believe it

Disappointing.......2002-05-19

With an author like Jeff Doyle (cisco press legend) seemingly at the helm, i had high hopes for this book. But alas, this book is, well....[junk]. Download the PDF's from the juniper site and you will have all the information you need. For protocol specific info - read the RFC's or something from cisco.

great book about routing policy.......2002-11-24

You cannot find other books have so much infomation about real network description on routing policy. Like IS-IS L2-L1 route leaking, you cannot find so detailed information on other books.

Putting It All Together.......2002-10-08

Everyone knows Juniper is a routing player. Heck, their best guys came from Cisco. This is the first book I've seen that really nails the tech issues of routing when you have both Juniper and Cisco on your network. I highly recommend it.
