  • 1.  Deploying vJunos-switch on EVE-NG bare metal

    Posted 04-25-2023 06:34
      |   view attached

    In this article, we will look at how vJunos-switch is deployed on a bare metal install of EVE- NG. This deployment will then be used to integrate with Juniper Apstra and build a complete Data Center fabric.

    We'll start with instructions on how to deploy EVE-NG as a bare metal install on an Ubuntu server and run through the EVE-NG installation itself as an example of how this can be done. Once EVE-NG is setup, we'll show how vJunos-switch can be added to EVE-NG as a deployable node and the EVE-NG template that is needed for this to work.

    Finally, we'll wrap this up by onboarding vJunos-switch devices in Juniper Apstra and building a simple Data Center fabric to show that these devices work seamlessly with Apstra as well.

    Discussed in DMs. Incorrect template in EVE-NG, and the device booted up as a vMX instead. 

    Please follow instructions in the document carefully, especially the template.

    Hi Aninda,

    It works after follow template as per your doc. Now it detect as EX9214. By the way may i know whether this vEX support all the feature EVPN-VXLAN? Because using vQFX it very heavy. 

    Thanks and appreciate your feedback

    Most features, yes. Some DCI features like VXLAN stitching are not supported yet.
