I have a copuple of SRX100H2 and I need to upgrade the operating system, so lets move on.
You need a service contract with Juniper Networks in order to download the latest version of the Junos Operating System, at the time of this writing the version is: 12.1X44-D45.2
I have placed the Junos image in my ftp server (3CDaemon)
I have been digging in the last months with a couple of deployments of F5 Load Balancers, and to be honest i didn´t have a clue about these interesting devices, and i foud it a really interesting subject. So i started to study in my free time and i have passed already the first exam of the two that you need to pass to achieve the first F5 certification "F5 BIG IP Certified Administrator" and i am on my way studying for the second one.
What i am going to explain here is how to build a Home Lab using VMware Workstation and GNS3.

I am now officially studying for the CCNP Service Provider Track, is a really cool certification with a lot of stuff about OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, and IOS XR. Because IOS XR is something new for me, the best way to digest it, is just setting up a small lab and play with it. I will be using the IOS XR image CSR1000v, running on VMWare workstation. I will not speak about how to set it up, because there are a ton of places on the internet speaking about it, just google it
The blueprint of the OSPF V2 in the exam 642-883 SPROUTE is:
1.1 Describe multi-area OSPFv2 operations
1.2 Implement multi-area OSPFv2 IOS-XR
1.3 Implement different OSPF areas (stubby, totally stubby, NSSA) on IOS-XR
1.4 Implement OSPF neighbor authentication on IOS-XR
1.5 Troubleshoot OSPF IOS-XR configuration errors
