JNCIS-FWV exam passed!

Yeah!

Just yesterday I succesfully passed the JNCIS-FWV certification exam, what a relief!

Now I’m a JuNiper Certified Internet Specialist for Firewall and Vpn products.

To who’s willing to pass this exam, I can suggest to stroongly study the 4 training course books:

INSG
NMTP
NAVI
INHN

And complete all the LABs… it’s very important.

I found usefull also this study guide:

http://www.qorbit.net/nn/Apr-2005/2901.html

but pay attention, there’re a lot of errors in the explanations and in the Q/A reviews.

Btw, the exam is not easy.

There’re many questions about Virtual Systems, definetly is the hardest topic covered: practice helps a lot, expecially with Admin permissions.
Some questions are related to debugging and troubleshooting, so be sure that you can read a DEBUG or a SNOOP output and understand what happens…

And be fast, I run out of time during the review of the marked questions, probably ’cause I’m not English mother tongue and I had to fully understand the tricky questions.

Good luck!

Hi
My name is Debraj from India. I’m willing to sit for the exam JNCIS FWV. But I cannot find any book in market. Is there any Good pdf I can study for this.

Hi Debraj,
as I indicated in the post there’s a good pdf here:
http://www.qorbit.net/nn/Apr-2005/2901.html

but keep in mind that recently the exam was changed!!
Now there’re more topics, like Multicast, BGP and OSPF, and I know that is much harder than in the past… so I recommend you to follow the courses to have the official study guides!

Ciao

HI all,

congrats BESA,
too late tho,
I’m about to take the exam tomorrow, and Jason Ha’s study guide did save my lots of time on studying, especially for the debug/snoop part.
I think updated JN0-531 exam is more challenging, that’ll be too hard for me.
JN0-530 is valid until July 1 this year, for those who not aware.
I downloaded some examsheet off p2p network(like actual test), and I found out JN0-530 questions are getting old, comparing versions from 2005 to 2007, many questions are identical, so I guess it’s a bit easier than CCNP exams, tomorrow this assumption shall be tested. Anyway, fail or pass I’ll comeback to post again.
And BESA, can I have your MSN?

I passed, many questions were related to VSYS like BESA pointed out, I can’t get a license for VSYS to practise so there must be some confusion about VSYS management. I would recommend Jason Ha jncis-fwv study guide and INSG course ppt(found on google) in preparing for this exam, also Juniper Knowledge Base is helpful, but it requires user account with privilege.

Hi Mina,
I don’t have official INSG5.1 book, for JNCIA-FWV I recommend the book
“Syngress.Configuring.Juniper.Networks.Netscreen.and.SSG.Firewalls”
