To use Juniper vMX in EVE-NG for free, you can obtain trial images directly from Juniper and integrate them into your virtual environment. While EVE-NG does not provide vendor images itself due to copyright, it offers a specific technical process to prepare and run them. 1. Download Juniper vMX Images
- produce the exact shell commands tailored to a specific vMX version you downloaded (tell me the filename), or
- create an EVE‑NG lab topology example for vMX with recommended CPU/RAM settings.
Run the standard EVE-NG permission fix command to ensure the images are readable by the emulator: /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions 3. Resource Requirements
Tip: If you just need a functional Juniper router without the heavy resource requirements of vMX, consider the Free vJunos-router, which is often easier to download and set up for basic labbing. 2. Importing vMX into EVE-NG
Introduction: Juniper vMX is a powerful tool for network engineers and architects to test and validate network configurations in a virtual environment. EVENG is a popular platform for network simulation and testing. By combining Juniper vMX with EVENG, users can create a powerful and flexible testing environment for their network configurations.
- Example:
vmx-18.1R1
