Day One: vMX Up and Running

This Day One book follows a lab setup and configuration of Juniper’s vMX running on Ubuntu Linux. If you are running VMWare there’s a chapter at the end of the book to walk you through that build.

The vMX is a virtual Juniper Networks MX Series router that has been optimized to run as software on x86 servers. Like other physical MX routers, vMX runs the Junos OS, and the Trio chipset has been compiled for x86. This means the sophisticated Layer 2, Layer 2.5, and Layer 3 forwarding features of the Junos OS that work with the physical MX platform are also present on the vMX.

The vMX can be installed on any server hardware of your choice, so long as it is x86-based with an Intel Nehalem or newer generation CPU and running Linux KVM or VMware. This book focuses on a lab build of vMX 20.2R2 running on Linux KVM. There’s plenty of example configurations and tips, as well as an Appendix with the ten most common vMX Juniper Support issues and their resolution links.

IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO:

Work with the vMX architecture and be able to deploy the book’s use cases.
Understand the build, configuration, and deployment of vMX in your lab or production environments.
Scale an instance of the vMX.
License the vMX for a lab or production deployment.
Troubleshoot vMX installation and deployment issues.
