: Download the vMX Software bundle (typically a .tgz file). For EVE-NG, look for the KVM/QEMU version.

EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment - Next Generation) is a popular network emulation platform that allows users to create and manage virtual networks. It provides a graphical user interface to create, configure, and connect virtual devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and more. EVE-NG supports a wide range of virtual devices, including Juniper VMX.

Juniper VMX is a virtual routing platform that allows users to run the Junos operating system on a virtual machine. It is a software-based router that provides the same features and functionality as a physical Juniper MX router. VMX is ideal for network engineers, students, and researchers who want to test and validate network configurations, protocols, and features in a virtual environment.

Go to the Juniper website and create a free account. You need a valid email (Gmail works).

In your EVE-NG topology, you must add both a and a VFP node. These two nodes must be connected via their em1 interfaces to communicate.

: For standard vMX, you typically need two separate images: the VCP (Virtual Control Plane/Routing Engine) and the VFP (Virtual Forwarding Plane/Packet Forwarding Engine). Integrating vMX with EVE-NG
