The Secret Source of Passing JNCIA - JUNOS Certification Exam

The Juniper Network Certified Internet Associate Junos (JNCIA-Junos) certification tests a candidate’s understanding of IP network routing technology and Juniper Junos configuration and troubleshooting skills.

NCIA-Junos is the first of a series of 16 certifications used to test the knowledge of hardware and software products from Juniper Networks. Juniper’s certifications are divided into three tracks: Enterprise Routing and Switching, Service Provider Routing and Switching and Junos Security for designing secure networks. For each of these certification tracks the JNCIA-Junos certification is a prerequisite. The JNCIA-Junos certification is valid for two years.

If you have a Juniper exam voucher, you will need to activate the voucher first and then apply it when you sign up for your exam date on the Pearson Vue web site. You will typically have 90 days to take the exam once you have activated the voucher per the instructions included with the voucher. I didn’t quite get this detail and had to rush to take my exam or my activated voucher would have expired.

About the JNCIA-Junos Exam:

The JNCIA-Junos exam (JN0-101) is a typical computer-based certification exam with 65 questions to be completed in under 90 minutes. Passing is 66% and the score is available immediately upon completing the exam. There is no prerequisite to take the JNCIA-Junos exam.

Each exam item has four answer options and is either single or multiple choice. Some questions have an exhibit that must be examined to answer the question correctly. You can move forward and back and flag questions. At the end of the exam you are given the opportunity to review all of the questions and change any of your answers before you end the exam.

So how did I do?

Originally, when I wanted to take a Juniper exam, I wanted to tackle the JNCIS-SEC, cause 95% of my time is spent on SRX's and other security areas, and I'd say the other 5% on EX switches and M series routers. I learned, however, that you can't just run before you learn how to walk, so I had to take the JN0-102: Junos Associate (JNCIA-Junos)  exam first, which is a prerequisite to the JNCIS line of exams.

I started by going back over some of the training manuals I had from a couple of years ago when I took aJNCIS Enterprise Switching and Routing course. This course was condensed into a week, in a "bootcamp" type format, and included the following classes:

• Introduction to the Junos Operating System
• Junos Routing Essentials
• Junos Intermediate Routing
• Junos Enterprise Switching

The first few study days were spent on the information that deals with the JNCIA-Junos exam, so it was a good place to start. I followed that by taking a couple of the practice exams on nwexam website to see what areas I needed to focus on when dealing with the JNCIA-Junos exam:

• Network Fundamentals - WBT 
• JNCIA-Junos (JNO-102) Practice Exam

I have had a lot of practice on exam questions provided by nwexam site on JNO-102. I really didn't need to bother with the Network Fundamentals test. However, it was a really well organized and designed site for Juniper certification exam, and I recommend anyone new to the field to definitely take a look at it.

I did pretty well on the practice exams, as I had a feeling I would. It definitely helps having the experience over the past few years of working hands on with the products versus coming in blind and just basically reading about them and then taking the test. So this experience was a little different for me than others who might be just getting into Juniper/Junos. I decided to focus mainly on CoS, since that was one of my weaker areas as I don't really deal with it too much now. 

I passed with a score over 90%, and I was really proud. I would like to thank NWEXAM site for their constant support throughout the exam preparation. It had been a while since I've had a certification, and it just felt good to get one again. Now, I plan on going after the security specialist one (JNCIS-SEC) later this year.
