  • 1.  vSwitch / vMX more thatn 10 interfaces ?? eve-ng

    Posted 09-23-2024 10:37


    Has anyone had luck with / had problems with more than 10 Physical interfaces? By physical, I mean ge-0/0/0,  ge-0/0/1, etc  , not literally physical. 
    I really need vMX with more than 10 interfaces.

    The limit is due to the hypervisor I believe.  vMX should have the ability to add a second vFPC VM so you get ge-1/0/0

    FWIW, vJunos-switch/-router only supports a single FPC - but that single FPC the way we've set it up does allow for up to 96 ports. You just have to add the config.

    Thanks David, how do you wire the second FPC back to the RE ?

    Have a look at the docs - you can configure vJunos-switch or -router for up to 96 ports:

    Configure Active Ports

    This section describes how to configure the number of active ports.

    You can specify the number of active ports for the vJunos-switch to match the number of NICs added to the VFP VM. The default number of ports is 10, but you can specify any value in the range of 1 through 96.

    Run the user@host# set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 number-of-ports 96 command to specify the number of active ports. Configure the number of ports at the [edit chassis fpc 0 pic 0] hierarchy level.

    I'm not sure I ever thanked you; being able to lab this up virtually is a godsend for this initial POC work.  Please, Juniper, keep the VMs available.
