Juniper DC Reading list

One of my colleagues just asked me about the recommended reading list for the Juniper DC track (in particular what I've used to clear JNCIP-DC few weeks ago), here is a complete list of free resources that you can access to prepare yourself for the exam, I will also recommend (if you don't have any real/lab experience with QFX/EX for vxlan setup and mostly with VCF) to do some labs with vQFX (you can try out EVE-NG, which is *highly recommended*)

Here it is:

Juniper Networks EVPN Implementation for Next-Generation Data Center Architectures - https://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/whitepapers/2000606-en.pdf

Virtual Chassis Fabric Feature Guide - http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/information-products/pathway-pages/qfx-series/virtual-chassis-fabric.pdf

Comparing Layer 3 Gateway & Virtual Machine Traffic Optimization (VMTO) For EVPN/VXLAN And EVPN/MPLS - https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/solutions/information-products/pathway-pages/solutions/l3gw-vmto-evpn-vxlan-mpls.pdf

Clos IP Fabrics with QFX5100 Switches - https://www.juniper.net/assets/cn/zh/local/pdf/whitepapers/2000565-en.pdf

Virtual Chassis Fabric Best Practices Guide - http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/vcf/information-products/pathway-pages/vcf-best-practices-guide.pdf

Configuring Zero Touch Provisioning - https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos12.3/topics/task/configuration/software-image-and-configuration-automatic-provisioning-confguring.html

Configuring Zero Touch Provisioning in Branch Networks - https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/nce/information-products/pathway-pages/nce/nce-151-zero-touch-provisioning.pdf


Also another great book which I just end reading is "Building Data Centers with VXLAN BGP EVPN", this book is Cisco NXOS oriented but provides an amazing background on how VXLAN BGP EVPN Fabrics works.
