[c-nsp] Wanting to learn Juniper...

[Tolstykh, Andrew]

That's just like your own opinion man (Big Lebowski).

Cisco IOS is in fact extremely intuitive, there is nothing intuitive
about the JunOS IMHO. I will get my JNCIE just to have it, but why in
the world would I possibly deploy it in production when Cisco's gear is
flawless? Configuration rollback and grep (OMG - what an invention -
grep!), what else? Seriously, am I missing out on something absolutely
awesome that I don't have on my 6500's? Just a personal feedback
regarding Cisco's service - they have been awesome. 24x7x365, never had
an issue with them, equipment is rock solid (one port on the 2950
shocked with the static electricity charge - Cisco replaced it without
asking any questions).

I would pick up an old J-series to play with.  The JunOS CLI and
configuration structure is extremely intuitive.

Once you've found your way around the CLI, I would work through Team
Cymru's JunOS templates:
http://www.cymru.com/gillsr/documents/junos-template.htm
http://www.cymru.com/gillsr/documents/junos-bgp-template.pdf

And then pick up a copy of O'Reilly's JunOS Cookbook and Addison
Wesley's Juniper Networks Reference Guide.  The j-nsp list is very
helpful as well.

Be warned though - once you've started using JunOS you will never, ever
want to go back to IOS.

I'm fairly well versed in the Cisco devices and the configuration of
those devices through the CLI using Cisco IOS...but I'm curious, and up
for the learning experience, of starting to familiarize myself with
Juniper.

I'm looking for some insight on the best approach to do this?

I prefer hands on...so I was thinking maybe some practice gear off
ebay...and if so, what model would be right for my goal.
