In this document, I use CentOS as example because it closely follows RedHat Enterprise Linux and being used extensively in the industry.

Install Linux base OSKVM is supported in most Linux distribution.

So if you want to emulate a network with 4 vMX in your server, you need to make sure your server got minimum 8GB RAM. In reality, I found it can work well in 2GB. The official memory requirement for vMX is 4GB. Also, you may want to make sure you get enough RAM in your server to host enough vMX for your testing.

Otherwise, the hypervisor will run under software emulation mode which is extremely slow.Most modern CPU support hardware virtualization acceleration, what you need to do is goto system BIOS to make sure something like Intel VT or AMD-V is enabled. Before install the Linux, we need to make sure there is hardware virtualization acceleration support enabled. So if you do not have any Linux knowledge, you may want to jump to VirtualBox section instead.īuilding the KVM Linux hostPrepare the hardwareKVM run over Linux.

Also VirtualBox hypervisor come with a easy to use GUI. Although VirtualBox is not a supported configuration and it run slower than KVM, running vMX over VirtualBox allows SE to use their own notebook for network simulation without building a dedicated KVM machine. As a result, in second part of document, we will also share the trick to run vMX over VirtualBox hypervisor which is free of charge and support Windows/MacOS as host OS.

However, not every network engineer have additional spare linux PC to run KVM. This is because vMX itself is designed to run over KVM. The majority of the document will focus on running vMX over KVM. So that they can make use of vMX as a powerful tool for their internal testing. As a result, I create this document to fill-up the blank for network engieer without prior KVM knowledge. There are some document in Matrix talk about using vMX but most of them are not written for network engieer who do not have background on KVM. Unfortunately, the vMX is designed to run over KVM platform. All they need is a PC with modern CPU and enough memory. SE no longer need to have multiple MX on hand for feature testing or run multipe logical system in a physical box and do those hair pin patching. However, even for MX80 emulation alone, the vMX come with complete control and forwarding plane to make it ideal for solution testing. In phase 2 of vMX, multiple line card & RE support will be added to try to emulate more complex product like MX480. In 14.1, the vMX is in phase 1 format which basically try to emulate MX80 (single ASIC, single RE). VMX is a solution to run a complete MX (including control and forwarding plane) in software environment.Starting from JUNOS 14.1, vMX will be available on every JUNOS release.
