Juniper vMX with MS-MPC
Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2023 7:57 am
Hi,
I am using Juniper vMX on eve-ng and am trying to prove an end-to-end solution for L2TP subscribers. This requires an LNS, LAC and virtual CPE. The vMX can be utilised providing it has an MS-MPC virtual slot and with the normal vMX outside of eve-ng we can access the vmx.conf file and make the change as per below:
#vPFE VM parameters
FORWARDING_PLANE:
memory-mb : 65536
vcpus : 32
console_port: 8602
device-type : sriov
pic-name : service-pic-2g
interfaces :
- type : static
ipaddr : 172.25.0.3
macaddr : "0A:00:DD:C3:FD:10"
However, in the eve-ng vMX I cannot find the vmx.conf file within any of the eve-ng file structure. The readout for my system in eve-ng (the vMX) is as follows:
show chassis fpc pic-status
Slot 0 Online Virtual FPC
PIC 0 Online Virtual
But what is required is:
show chassis fpc pic-status
Slot 0 Online MS-MPC
Slot 0 Online Virtual FPC
PIC 0 Online Virtual
Anyone got any ideas where the config file is kept and how I can get at it to edit the vMX to allow the MS-MPC?
