This book Juniper Networks(R) Field Guide and Reference by Aviva Garrett, Gary Drenan, Cris Morris, and Juniper® Networks condenses thousands of pages of manuals, tech notes, and engineering resources into a single book. This is still one of only a handful of books available on the M and T Series in the service provider space. It also refers to a lot of obsolete products (M5, M10, M40 and the infamous M160) and provides information hand-picked and edited by the person responsible for documenting all Juniper technologies.

This comprehensive book culls and condenses nearly six thousand pages of technical documentation, field alerts, technical FAQ’s, and more into a single convenient and accessible resource. It provides essential information for anyone designing, building, installing, configuring, and operating scalable IP networks. Although the configuration snippets throughout the book are mostly documentation syntax (instead of real examples), there is an extensive configurations chapter for ATM, BGP, ISIS, and Layer 3 MPLS VPNs. This book serves as an excellent precise of the full JUNOS and Juniper hardware documentation set.
