'description': 'The vMX is a full-featured, carrier-grade virtual MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router that extends 15+ years of Juniper Networks edge routing expertise to the virtual realm. This appliance is for the Virtual Control Plane (vCP) VM and is meant to be paired with the Virtual Forwarding Plane (vFP) VM.'
These steps will help you install a Juniper vMX device on KVM. The steps assume you have already deployed a KVM host with all of the requirements that the vMX needs. If you did not already do this or you are deploying a new KVM host you can follow the instructions I have made here:
For my vMX installations I am using SR-IOV for best performance, so the guide assumes that the interfaces assigned to the vFP are all SR-IOV. You will need to adjust the instructions depending on the vMX release that you are installing, I have extracted the vMX files to /home/vMX-[RELEASE]
(in this case /home/vMX-18.1R1
) so that when I upgrade the vMX I can keep the old copies in an obvious place.
vmx-bundle-18.1R1.9.tgz
. The file can be downloaded from the Juniper vMX release page. This guide assumes that you have the .tar.gz file in /home/
.vmx/
- I recommend renaming this to the release as well.Note: These steps only apply to Ubuntu 14.04 hosts. Do not do this for a CentOS host. This step also assumes that you are using an Intel X710 or XL710 NIC.
There are two drivers that need to be installed - Intel i40evf and Intel i40e. The Intel i40evf driver needs to be downloaded from the Intel website, the i40e driver is included with the vMX. The i40e driver included with the vMX is patched to make certain features work when using SR-IOV, things like 802.3ad frames will not be passed through to the vMX otherwise.
If you are trying to install a different release of the vMX, the drivers folder will most likely be different (eg. for 17.4R1 the i40e driver is located in drivers/i40e-1.3.46/src
instead).
Make sure that this is successful. You may get errors when compiling the driver, as an example I got this error when deploying the vMX release 17.4R1:
If you do get errors like this, make sure that the kernel version that is currently running is supported by Juniper - check the 'Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements' page for the vMX release you are deploying to see which kernel is required. If you have the required kernel already installed but not running you will need to set Grub to use the older kernel and reboot the host to apply before continuing. Do not continue until this step works.
Note: These steps only apply to Ubuntu 14.04 hosts. Do not do this for a CentOS host. This step also assumes that you are using an Intel X710 or XL710 NIC.
Remove the default bridge network that libvirt creates, this can cause issues starting the VM's for the vMX:
The Juniper vMX configuration file needs to be created. The configuration file is in YAML format and defines what interfaces on the host to bind to the vMX and what resources the vMX will have. The Juniper vMX document from Juniper available here contains some sample configurations.
vmx.conf
in your favourite editor. You will need to change a few values from the sample configuration file I have provided:routing-engine-image
, routing-engine-hdd
and forwarding-engine-image
paths under HOST:
to be the correct file locations - the RE engine image and vFPC image names may be different as well if you are using a release other than 18.1R1.host-management-interface
. This management interface is where the control plane and forwarding plane interfaces will be bound to to make the initial setup and troubleshooting more convenient.JUNOS_DEVICES:
. These are the interfaces being assigned to the forwarding plane (revenue ports). All of the interfaces I am adding are 10G SR-IOV interfaces with the MTU set to 9400 (the maximum I can use). The virtual-function
should not be changed unless you have specific requirements to do that.Here is the sample configuration you can use:
The vMX can now be installed. The install process will also start the vCP and vFP VM's.
Run the installer with verbose logging just in case you run into issues:
The vMX should start up, once the vmx.sh
script is finished running you can then access the console of the vCP and vFP. The default username for the routing engine is root
with no password. After the vCP finishes booting (it could take a couple of minutes) you should also be able to reach the management IP that is configured. The management IP uses the fxp0 interface.
After the VM is booted, log in to the console you can do the minimal configuration to get SSH access:
set system root-authentication plain
set system services ssh root-login allow
I also recommend applying these settings:
set chassis fpc 0 performance-mode
vmx.conf
file. Eg. if you have 6 interfaces assigned to the vFP: set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 number-of-ports 6
set chassis fpc 0 loopback-device-count 1
To start the vMX on boot you will need to add either an init script (Ubuntu 14.04) or a systemd service (CentOS 7.4). I have included instructions on adding those and examples here.
I have some other guides available for enabling features as well as covering various errors that you may receive.
