2020.04.25 – Juniper vSRX-NG installation into EVE-PRO

Posted on by

I used this guid for my installation:: https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos/howto-add-juniper-vsrx-ng-15-x-and-later/

Versions this guide is based on:

  • Name: vsrxng-20.3R1.81
  • Download original filename: junos-vsrx3-x86-64-20.3R1.8.qcow2
  • Version: 20.3R1.8
  • VCPUS: 2
  • VRAM: 4096

Step 1. Create correct image folder

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu# mkdir vsrxng-20.3R1.18

Step 2. Upload the downloaded image to the EVE /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-23.3R1.18/  folder using for example FileZilla or WinSCP using:

  • Host: eve-pro-ip
  • Username: root
  • Password: *******
  • Port: 22

Click Quickconnect, open source from MacBook Pro and destination to EVE-PRO and download junos-vsrx3-x86-64-20.3R1.8.qcow2.

Step 3. From the EVE cli, go to newly created image folder.

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu# cd vsrxng-20.3R1.18

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-20.3R1.18# ls
junos-vsrx3-x86-64-20.3R1.8.qcow2

Step 4. Rename original filename to virtioa.qcow2

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-20.3R1.18# mv junos-vsrx3-x86-64-20.3R1.8.qcow2 virtioa.qcow2

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-20.3R1.18# ls
virtioa.qcow2 

Step 5. Fix permissions:

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-20.3R1.18# /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions


Dec 01 11:34:26 Dec 01 11:34:26 Online Check state: Valid


root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vsrxng-20.3R1.18# 

Step 6. Create a testing lab and open:

Step 7. By default the number of interfaces are 4: fxp0 and ge-0/0/0-ge-0/0/2 but you can inches the number. To increase the number of interfaces change the default Ethernets configuration of 4 to 10. The maximum is to ge-0/0/8.

Enjoy!!

2020.03.11 – Juniper vSRX’s Does not Supports Layer 2 Ethernet Switching

Posted on by

Note in date 2020.03.25:

  • I found out that vSRX does not support Layer 2 Ethernet Switch but support Layer 2 Bridging
  • For my lab I still need Later 2 Ethernet Switch ….

For information about configuring transparent mode for vSRX, see Layer 2 Bridging and Transparent Mode.

This document info

I wanted to make a lab about Layer 2 Ethernet Switching. The details of the lab was based on Juniper EX devices.

Searching Juniper Virtual EX (vEX) devices, I have found out that it does’n exist. If I want to make lab about Layer 2 Ethernet Switching I can use Juniper SRX, Juniper EX or Juniper QFX products or I was thinking at virtual applications.

Introduction

To start Juniper series off, I’ll take you through the steps of beginning your first virtual Junos lab using Junos Firefly and VMware Fusion. By the end of this series, you should be able to setup your own virtual topology that enables you to practice for that JNCIA, S, P, or E exams you’re cramming for. The concepts you learn throughout this series should be applicable to other hypervisors.
