[j-nsp] vMX

[Paul Abbott]

Hi Alexander / Stefan,

Those parameters will change the behavior for vMX into an internal build as they are used to simulate different chassis types for engineering during development.  I really don't suggest this be done using them with vMX images as the personality/behavior of the image will change.

Regarding supporting multiple RE and FPC's, today we don't support them on vMX but, we are looking into getting them supported in a future release.

Thanks,

    Hi Yes !
    
    By changing parameters in the boot/loader.conf you can change certain
    behavior
    
    vm_chassis_i2cid="21" for MX960, "33" for MX480, and "48" for MX240
     vm_ore_present=“0” for a single RE; vm_ore_present=“1” for dual REs
    vm_instance=“0” for the the RE, the first FPC slot; vm_instance=“1” for
    second FPC
    slot, and so on (not applicable to RE)
    Let’s say, you want to run 1 RE and 1 FPC on slot 0 (you can run 2 REs and
    up to 12 FPCs if
    you emulate an MX960)
    
    However the real imitation is somewhere else  namely that VMware only allow
    up to 10 interfaces on one VM
    
    I think that currently this is not officially supported but as far as I know
    Juniper plans to allow up to 2 REs and up to ?(3 and more) separate PFE
    instances
    
    With best regards

    Betreff: [j-nsp] vMX
    
    Hello everyone,
    
    Is there someone who is familiar with vMX?
    I have installed vMX under VMWARE and I wanted to know if it's possible to
    add more than one FPC.
    I could find any documentation about that.
    
    Thanks.
