Software for this installation:

• MacBook PRO with 16GB hardware of RAM 
• VMware Fusion 11.5.1
• VMware vSphere Hypervisor (a.k.a. ESXi 6.7.0 ISO) Installed and configure with 4 CPUs and 8 GB RAM.

Tony helped me a lot. He is the one that also publish a lot of useful article in his blog GRASPINGTECH

Maximum Minimum Hardware Requirements for VMware

A. Number of cores

• Note: Performance mode is the default mode and the minimum value is based on one port.
  • For lite mode: Minimum of 4
    • 1 for VCP
    • 3 for VFP
  • Note: If you want to use lite mode when you are running with more than 3 vCPUs for the VFP, you must explicitly configure lite mode.

B. Memory

• Note: Performance mode is the default mode.
  • For lite mode: Minimum of 3 GB
    • 1 GB for VCP
    • 2 GB for VFP

C. Storage

• Local or NAS
• Each vMX instance requires 44 GB of disk storage
• Minimum storage requirements:
  • 40 GB for VCP
  • 4 GB for VFP

vMX Package Contents

• Software image file for VCP: ova/vcp_20.1R1.11.ova
• Software image file for VFP: ova/vfpc_20.1R1.11.ova

Configuration

Step 1. Download the vMX software package for VMware: vmx-bundle-esxi-20.1R1.11.tar

• From the vMX page 
• Uncompress the package in a location accessible in MacBook Pro

Step 2. Launch the VMware ESXi server, esxi00.silvique.ro, and log in to the server with your credentials.

Only ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/1 are up up. All other networks are up down. You have to create other Port group networks to put more in up up. For example, the total number o network creation in VM is p2p3-ge.vMX to maximum p2p8-ge.vMX

ge-0/0/9                up    down
ge-0/0/9.16386          up    down

! At the moment I do not know how to make all ge interfaces, including ge-0/0/8 and ge-0/0/9, up up. I will search a solution when I will needed.

Step 5. Deploying the VCP VM

To deploy the VCP VM using .ova files:

• Enter VMware ESXi using Firefox
• Click Virtual Machine > Create/ Register VM
• Select create type: click Deploy a virtual Machine for an OVF to OVA file and Next
• Select OVF and VMDK files:
  • Name: vMX-vVCP_20.1R1.1
  • File: vcp_20.1R1.11.ova
  • Click Next
• Select storage: ESXi00.datastore1 and Next
• Untag Power on automatically end Next
• Click Finish

Step 6. Deploying the FPC VM

To deploy the FPC VM using .ova files:

• Enter VMware ESXi using Firefox
• Click Virtual Machine > Create/ Register VM
• Select create type: click Deploy a virtual Machine for an OVF to OVA file and Next
• Select OVF and VMDK files:
  • Name: vMX-vFPC_20.1R1.1
  • File: vfpc_20.1R1.11.ova
  • Click Next
• Select storage: ESXi00.datastore1 and Next
• Untag Power on automatically end Next
• Click Finish

After you have deployed the vVCP and vFPC VMs, you can modify the amount of memory, the number of vCPUs, and the number of WAN (here vmnic2) ports.

Step 7. Settings for the vVCP VM

• CPU: 1
• Memory: 1024 MB
• Network Adapter 1: br-ext.vMX
  • Adapter Type: E1000
• Network Adapter 2: br-int.vMX
  • Adapter Type: E1000

Step 8. Settings for the vFPC VM

• CPU: 3
• Memory: 2048 MB
• Network Adapter 1: p2p1-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 2: p2p2-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 3: br-ext.vMX
  • Adapter Type: E1000
• Network Adapter 4: br-int.vMX
  • Adapter Type: E1000

Not mandatory but you can add more networks:

• Network Adapter 5: p2p3-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 6: p2p4-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 7: p2p5-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 8: p2p6-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 9: p2p7-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3
• Network Adapter 10: p2p8-ge.vMX
  • Adapter Type: VMXNET 3

Step 9. Launching vMX on VMware

Now you are ready to launching vMX on VMware. The firs basic configuration is the following:

Note: The 172.25.11.1 IP or 172.25.11.2 IP not working to open/run vMX in MacBook Pro Terminal application. I have tried and works if configure IP 172.25.11.3/24.

To copy and paste a config from a text file. Use the CTRL-D or ^D option to exit the terminal mode and return to the firewall prompt.

NOTE: If interfaces connectivity and communication is needed, into Port Groups include VLAN ID 6095.

Below is an example: two logical-systems with 2 difference interfaces, ge-0/0/1.12 and ge-0/0/5.12 and the ping command for testing works
