INTRODUCTION
The Juniper Networks AICTE Virtual Internship is an initiative to provide students with
hands-on experience in the fields of networking, automation, and cybersecurity. In
partnership with the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Juniper
Networks offers this program to equip students with real-world skills by working on
advanced networking technologies like JUNOS, which powers Juniper's networking
devices.
OBJECTIVES
• JUNOS Operating System:
• Configuring and managing network devices using JUNOS
• Hands-on with Juniper's proprietary operating system across various hardware
• Networking Technologies:
• Learning and working with advanced networking protocols (BGP, OSPF, MPLS)
• Exposure to network automation and software-defined networking (SDN)
• Cloud Services and Integration:
• Understanding how Juniper’s networking solutions integrate with public cloud
platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Configuring cloud-managed networking solutions for scalability
TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS USED
JUNOS CLI: Mastery of Juniper's configuration and troubleshooting tool
• Python: For scripting and automation tasks
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure for cloud integration
• DevOps Tools: Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes (if involved in automation or CI/CD tasks)
• Command-line interface (CLI) for configuring, managing, and troubleshooting Juniper routers,
switches, and firewalls
• Automating repetitive network configuration tasks
• Scripting for network management, error detection, and optimization
• Integration with Juniper’s cloud networking solutions
• Configuring secure network topologies using Juniper devices in hybrid cloud environments
