JNCIP-DC Study Notes¶
Welcome to Tyler Christiansen’s notes for the JNCIP-DC exam. These notes are open source. I would love to see additional collaboration and contribution from others who are either pursuing the exam or who are far more knowledgeable than myself. If you’re interested in contributing, please see the Contributing section below.
These notes have been taken and organized in the order of the listed JNCIP-DC exam objectives. The primary reference has been the QFX5100 Series book, but other references such as the MX Series book and official Juniper documentation have been used. I’ve tried to remember to credit any sources I’ve had while taking notes, but I’m sure I’ve left sources off. If you’re aware of a particular source for something, please let me know so that I can attribute credit.

Contributing¶
I’ll take contributions however I can get them, but here are a few areas in which I’m particularly interested:
- Diagrams: I’m really terrible at making diagrams. I actually tried to to make a few for this project, but I became far too frustrated with the tools available to me (I don’t have Visio). If you can contribute diagrams, it would be incredibly helpful.
- Technical Corrections: These are my notes for an exam; I’m not an authority on the technologies, and I could definitely be wrong. I don’t have a technical reviewer. If you find technical errors, please let me know either via e-mail, a GitHub issue, or a pull request to correct the issue. All I ask is that for any technical correction, a source to the correct information be provided.
- Grammatical Correction: This may seem odd, but if there’s a grammar issue, I’d appreciate a correction.
- Labs and Configurations: More labs and configuration examples are always better! I’m trying to provide examples, but it’s sometimes difficult to capture. In some cases, I can’t provide any labs or configuration snippets because it requires physical gear (such as Virtual Chassis) and I only have access to vQFX10k. So if you can contribute labs or configuration snippets, they would be greatly appreciated!
If you have any other contribution to make, it’s 100% welcome. The best place to contribute and collaborate is the GitHub repository. Issues can be reported, and if you’re familiar with GitHub and/or ReStructured Text (the markup language in which these notes are written), you can submit pull requests to contribute.
All contributions will be added to the Contributors page unless the contributor requests otherwise.
