Juniper vMX with MS-MPC

Post by cliveg » Tue Aug 22, 2023 7:57 am

Hi,

I am using Juniper vMX on eve-ng and am trying to prove an end-to-end solution for L2TP subscribers. This requires an LNS, LAC and virtual CPE. The vMX can be utilised providing it has an MS-MPC virtual slot and with the normal vMX outside of eve-ng we can access the vmx.conf file and make the change as per below:

#vPFE VM parameters
FORWARDING_PLANE:
memory-mb : 65536
vcpus : 32
console_port: 8602
device-type : sriov
pic-name : service-pic-2g
interfaces :
- type : static
ipaddr : 172.25.0.3
macaddr : "0A:00:DD:C3:FD:10"

However, in the eve-ng vMX I cannot find the vmx.conf file within any of the eve-ng file structure. The readout for my system in eve-ng (the vMX) is as follows:

show chassis fpc pic-status
Slot 0 Online Virtual FPC
PIC 0 Online Virtual

But what is required is:

show chassis fpc pic-status
Slot 0 Online MS-MPC
Slot 0 Online Virtual FPC
PIC 0 Online Virtual

Anyone got any ideas where the config file is kept and how I can get at it to edit the vMX to allow the MS-MPC?

Hello,
To modify the vMX configuration and add the MS-MPC virtual slot, you can follow these steps:
pizza tower
1. Open the EVE-NG web interface and navigate to the node representing your vMX instance.
2. Right-click on the vMX node and select "Edit Node."
3. In the "Node Details" section, scroll down to the "Advanced Settings" field.
4. In the "Advanced Settings" field, enter the following configuration snippet:

Code: Select all

yaml
#vPFE VM parameters
FORWARDING_PLANE:
  memory-mb : 65536
  vcpus : 32
  console_port: 8602
  device-type : sriov
  pic-name : service-pic-2g
  interfaces :
    - type : static
      ipaddr : 172.25.0.3
      macaddr : "0A:00:DD:C3:FD:10"
5. Click on the "Save" button to apply the changes to the vMX node.
By adding the configuration snippet in the "Advanced Settings" field, you are essentially modifying the vMX configuration parameters, including the virtual slot and interface details.

Keep in mind that modifying images and configurations should be done with care, as it may impact the stability and legality of your setup. Always adhere to the licensing agreements and best practices provided by the respective vendors.
