Inspiration in EVE guid: https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos/howto-add-juniper-vqfx/
Note in 2021.05.14: I used vQFX in my labs and I had many problems. PING does not work! At the version 20.2 also does not work ping. Now I install and try to use vQFX 20.3. I will come back here to say my result!!
Note in 2021.05.16: I tried all vQFX versions that I find to download from Juniper. No one work for me. Support EVE-PRO helped me with a vQFX 18.4 and was OK to ping between 2 different vQFX switches.
vQFX 18.4 contains different applications .qcow2 or .qcow or .img to download from Juniper. I used 2 Application Media 18.4R2-S2 but maybe EVE-PRO helped me with application, one or both, from Application Package.
To find a version it works, you have to try many possibility!!
Original article
Step 1
Use your Juniper access for login and download images.
- PFE downloaded image file:
- For version 17.4R1: cosim_20180212.qcow2
- For version 19.4R1: vqfx-19.4R1-2019010209-pfe-qemu.qcow
- RE downloaded file:
- For version 17.4R1: jinstall-vqfx-10-f-17.4R1.16.img
- For version 19.4R1: vqfx-19.4R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2
Step 2
SSH CLI to your EVE as root and create two new image directories in: /opt/unetlab/addos/qemu/
- For version 17.4R1:
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-17.4R1.16 mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-17.4R1.16
- For version 19.4R1:
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-19.4R1 mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-19.4R1
Step 3
Upload the downloaded images to the EVE newly created directories using FileZilla (or WinSCP).
- For version 17.4R1:
- cosim_20180212.qcow2 to /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-17.4R1.16/cosim_20180212.qcow2
- jinstall-vqfx-10-f-17.4R1.16.img to /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-17.4R1.16/jinstall-vqfx-10-f-17.4R1.16.img
- For version 19.4R1:
- vqfx-19.4R1-2019010209-pfe-qemu.qcow to /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-19.4R1
- vqfx-19.4R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 to /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-19.4R1.1
Step 4
Rename original filenames to EVE format Use commands from EVE CLI
- For version 17.4R1:
mv /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-17.4R1.16/cosim_20180212.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-17.4R1.16/hda.qcow2
mv /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-17.4R1.16/jinstall-vqfx-10-f-17.4R1.16.img /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-17.4R1.16/hda.qcow2
- For version 19.4R1:
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxpfe-10K-F-19.4R1# mv vqfx-19.4R1-2019010209-pfe-qemu.qcow hda.qcow2
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-10K-F-19.4R1# mv vqfx-19.4R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 hda.qcow2
root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu# ls vqfxpfe-10K-F-19.4R1 vqfxre-10K-F-19.4R1 vqfxpfe-10k-F-17.4R1.16 vqfxre-10k-F-17.4R1.16 root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu# ls vqfxpfe-10K-F-19.4R1 hda.qcow2 root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu# ls vqfxre-10K-F-19.4R1.1 hda.qcow2
Step 5
Fix permissions
/opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
Step 6.
Create new lab, add PFE and RE nodes on topology. Interconnect pair RE-PFE with em1 interface.
NOTES:
- Before Power ON EVE-PRO or, if EVE-PRO is on, before Power ON vQFX, run a command in EVE-PRO:
root@eve-ng:~# echo "10000" > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns
Step 7.
Power On PFE and RE.
Login in RE, user and password:
- On version 19.4R1.1: root/Juniper
- On version 17.4R1,4: root/no password
Step 8. Use Terminal for configuration
To connect and configure vQFX from Terminal in MacBook Pro:
- In EVE-NG create a new Network
- Type : Cloud1 with name Management (Cloud1)
- Connect vQFX-RE with Management (Cloud1) using em0/fxp0 interface
Clod1 in mine VMware Fusion means:
| Lab cloud name: Cloud1 | EVE interface: pnet1 | VMware Fusion VM: Network Adapter 2 | Bare HW Server: answer VNET_91_DISPLAY_NAME JunOS-fxp0 |
| Bare HW Server: answer VNET_91_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0 | |||
| Bare HW Server: answer VNET_91_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 172.25.11.0 |
- In vQFX-RE configure fxp0 interface
{master:0}[edit interfaces em0]
root@vqfx-re# show
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 172.25.11.78/24;
}
}
- Connect to vQFX-RE from Terminal
murgescusilvia@Murgescus-MacBook-Pro ~ % ssh root@172.25.11.78 The authenticity of host '172.25.11.78 (172.25.11.78)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:G1rq3G2/Y6VctKs22pvApnhGsrS/xTiW3V0TyRTx70w. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes Warning: Permanently added '172.25.11.78' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

NOTE: If you can not connect it seams there are some interfaces problem!!
1. Go back in EVE-PRO, open vqfx-re then continue as shown
root@vqfx-re:RE:0% cli
{master:0}
root@vqfx-re > show interface terms
Interface Admin Link Proto Local
--- missing xe- interface ---
??? down up
2. If you see Admin down part, no meter what interface name is, then go to next step:
{master:0}
root@vqfx-re > exit
root@vqfx-re:RE:0% reboot
To solve this problem is mandatory to reboot this way!!!
3. When reboot finished:
root@vqfx-re:RE:0% cli
{master:0}
root@vqfx-re > show interface terms
