| Issue | Solution | | --- | --- | | PFE fails to start (“FPC 0 not present”) | Increase PFE memory to 6GB or disable certain vMX features like inline services. | | vMX shows “LICENSE NOT INSTALLED” | Copy the eval license from the bundle to /config/license inside RE. | | Console slow or unresponsive | Use virsh console vmx-re --force and reduce logging levels ( set system syslog file messages any none ). | | Host network bridge interference | Ensure no firewall on bridge interfaces; use ebtables allow rules if needed. | Deploying the vMX using this bundle involves configuring

If you are using EVE-NG, you must fix permissions after moving files for the nodes to start correctly: /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Technical Specifications 17.1R1.8 Platform: x86_64 | | vMX shows “LICENSE NOT INSTALLED” |

After a few minutes, connect to the console:

If you are setting up a Juniper networking lab in EVE-NG, ensure you have the vmx-bundle-17.1R1.8.tgz downloaded, and follow the steps carefully to map both control and data planes for a fully operational virtual MX router.

Deploying virtualized network functions (VNFs) like the vMX allows network architects, engineers, and enterprise laboratories to simulate complex topologies, validate configurations, and scale edge routing functions without deploying physical hardware. 1. Package Overview and Architecture
