Network Engineering in the Field: Cisco, Juniper and Brocade

Hands-on installation, maintenance and troubleshooting across the three vendors you are most likely to find on a DoD network: Cisco IOS XE, Juniper Junos and Brocade FastIron. Real commands for each platform side by side, from racking and console access through VLANs, spanning tree, LACP, OSPF, AAA, STIG hardening, upgrades with rollback, and structured troubleshooting, plus a full module on legacy Brocade equipment. This is professional development, not certification prep, and nothing here is an 8140 qualification.
