  • 1.  JNCIS-ENT and JNCIP-ENT at same time?

    Posted 07-18-2021 13:03
    Hi all,

    Since JNCIP-ENT seems to build on JNCIS-ENT I was thinking it might be efficient to study for and take both at the same time. I have a lot of experience with other vendors and JunOS so figured going in at P level might be feasible.

    Is this a done thing and is this something that people would commonly do?

    Thanks!

    David.

    Good Morning David - while I would agree that the JNCIP-ENT is built upon the JNCIS-ENT, I think the breadth and depth of knowledge needed are much broader. On the JNCIS-ENT exam you will find specific but more general level questions whereas in the JNCIP-ENT you will be delving deeper into the technology, understanding what actually makes the devices and protocols work. 

    I do not believe that you will find similar level questions on the exams, and although you might get lucky and pull a JNCIS-ENT exam with similar topics, I would expect the overall approach for each exam to be different. JNCIP-ENT tests the depth of knowledge you have on Juniper devices.

    Hope this helps!
    Mike

    I'm also wondering the same thing, I have done the Junos exam, and also have a bit of experience with Juniper devices, so wondering if I focus my study on JNCIP-ENT, would I be able to sit and pass the JNCIS-ENT exam and ultimately ofcourse the JNCIP exam? Is this a good enough assumption?

    As I look again at the Exam objectives, the 'S' level calls out specifics about each protocol but as Michael says the 'P' level seems to be less specific while demanding more depth.
    'S' also calls out HA mechanisms more specifically too.
    Having thought about it myself I think I'll prep for 'S' and sit that first. I have 20 years under my belt but mostly Cisco and some of the theory I could use a refresher on too!

    David,

    IMHO targeting JNCIP makes sense and as you have a lot of experience with other vendors, passing JNCIS should not be an issue.
    However, I don't think you can pass both exams at once, as JNCIP requires JNCIS and it takes couple of days until it is visible in your CertManager profile after passing the exam.  

    Regards,
    Wojciech
