Jinstall-vmx-14.1R1.10-domestic.img vMX setup guide for Network Engineer.docx vMX.ova vMX.vdi 2. Juniper vMX 14.1 R1.10 I have been searching for this for quite some time, so now I found it I thought I would upload it here, so it's easier to find.
I’m excited to finally have the opportunity to play with Juniper’s vMX! Since it was announced last year I’ve been eagerly waiting for release – a couple of client projects already have passed by where the vMX would have been a perfect fit. vMX already won an earlier this year at Interop Tokyo 2015!In this post I’ll be giving a bit of background on the vMX architecture and licensing, and then go on to walk through a lab based configuration of vMX.The vMX is a virtual MX Series Router that is optimized to run as software on x86 servers. Like other MX routers, it runs Junos, and Trio has been compiled for x86! Yes, that means the sophisticated L2, L2.5 and L3 forwarding features we are used to on the MX are present on the vMX. I try to install the vmxwhen i run sudo./vmx.sh -lv –installi get this errorTraceback (most recent call last):File “/root/vmx-14.1R5.4-1/scripts/common/vmxconfigure.py”, line 592, inif key.keys0 “FORWARDINGPLANE”:AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘keys’Log file/root/vmx-14.1R5.4-1/build/vmx1/logs/vmx.logAborted! 1 error(s) and 0 warning(s)are u know how to fix it t?

Great post, very informative, thanks!Decided to run this with KVM nested under ESXi 6.0.0, all the above instructions work with one slight modification which is enabling hardware assisted virtualization for the KVM guest.For anyone else looking for information on this, you can tick this option if you are using the vSphere Web Client. If you are resource-cheap like myself you can edit the VMX file for the guest and add vhv.enable = “TRUE” at the end.Identify the guest VM ID with vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms grep -i then reload it with vim-cmd vmsvc/reloadPower up the VM and off you go!
To whom it may concern:I’m running vMX on KVM on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as well ( in a vmware v9 vm running on an ESXi 5.5 host). I’ve also faithfully followed the steps above and concerning the eth1 to ge-0/0/0 link, I cannot ping out to the next hop ip on the same subnet. Pinging to the interface ip inside of the junos router works. It seems that the junos ge-0/0/0 unit 0 intf ARP requests out and the request arrives at my physical switch outside of the ESXi host.
There at the physical switch the arp table is valid with ge-0/0/0 unit 0 interface mac and a reply is generated (which I see via tcpdump -i eth1 on the Ubuntu host). (Also considered the cases where eth1 and vm port group are configured for promiscuous mode.) It’s a pickle, at least to me. (I’ve also tried building my Ubuntu VM with in one case E1000 interfaces and VMXNET3 in the other. ) It seems to be an issue somewhere between the linux bridge vmxlink and the logical interface ge-0/0/0 unit 0 at the VCP???BTW great tutorial modulo this issue.F.

Hi,Really a useful post.Had my vMX setup using this. Small confusion. I tried binding one of the physical interface to vMX interfaces.:/vmx-14.1R5.4-1$ brctl showbridge name bridge id STP enabled interfacesbr-ext 8000.a5 yes br-ext-nicem1vcpext-vmx1vfpext-vmx1br-int-vmx1 8082721 yes br-int-vmx1-nicvcpint-vmx1vfpint-vmx1bridge1 8000000 novirbr0 8000000 yesvmxlink1 8000.a6 no em2ge-0.0.0-vmx1vmxlink3 8000.fe060a0efff1 no ge-0.0.1-vmx1vmxlink4 8000.fe060a0efff2 no ge-0.0.2-vmx1this output shows the binding has taken place. But i couldn’t contact the ip assigned to ge-0/0/0.0 from the server. What can be the reason behind this?Really appreciate if you could help me out.Thanks in advance. Hello,I’m running VMX on my Ubuntu.
Has anyone been able to get this FULLY (function-wise) running on/in KVM in Ubuntu 14.4.3 LTS? That is, is it possible to be able to ping out from one of the 10 1GE intf's to external interfaces? I can ping out when I explicitly set the next hop MAC addr. Otherwise I cannot. My Ubuntu VM is running in a vmware vm running on ESXi 5.5. There may be an issue with one of the dependent python scripts that vmx.sh -bind-dev uses.
Just a remark, BTW. When you chase down the interfaces with tcpdump -i, then there is an issue between the Junos ge-0-0-0 (say) interface and the vmxlink bridge. (My setup is using 20 GB of RAM and it seems not to matter whether E1000 or VMXNET interfaces are used.)The question becomes, if vMX in KVM on Ubuntu cannot be run on ESXi, then what are people using? KVM enabled in an Ubuntu VM in Virtual Box?Edited by encimaDeIca, 09 December 2015 - 07:21 PM.
