These are your actual switch ports (e.g., xe-0/0/0 ) where you connect other network devices in your lab. 3. Initial Access Default Username: root . Default Password: Juniper (case-sensitive). Known Issues & Troubleshooting
This is done because raw images are often faster and use fewer CPU cycles.
If you need a VMDK for ESXi, convert:
vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 refers to the Routing Engine (RE) image for Juniper's vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 work
This is your vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 image. It runs Junos OS, manages configuration files, hosts the CLI, and runs routing protocols (like OSPF or BGP).
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2.vmdk
: vQFX usually comes with a trial period. For lab use, "Evaluation" mode is standard, though some advanced features may require a license. QEMU Version QEMU 2.4.0 or higher for the best stability with Junos 20.x images. These are your actual switch ports (e
Eve-NG requires specific folder names to automatically apply the correct QEMU templates. Create the VRE directory: mkdir -p /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-20.2R1.10/ Use code with caution. Move your renamed image into that directory: mv hda.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-20.2R1.10/ Use code with caution.
You should see the FreeBSD boot loader. —the first boot can take 3-5 minutes as it expands the root filesystem.
No. Not silence— thundering quiet . The virtual links were down. He checked the bridge interfaces. The MACs were there. The VLAN tags matched. But the vqfx202 was stubborn as a mule. Default Password: Juniper (case-sensitive)
The vQFX splits control (RE) and forwarding (PFE). Check:
: The RE and PFE must be connected via an internal bridge (typically em1 on the RE to eth1 on the PFE). This "virtual backplane" allows the control plane to program the data plane. 4. Critical Configuration for First Boot
