(Note: Check your specific EVE-NG template for vQFX, but the directory name vqfx-20.2r1.10 is crucial for the platform to recognize the version).

Deploy three vQFX instances (2 leaf, 1 spine). Use the switch-br bridge to interconnect their EBGP sessions.

If you can tell me and if you have the PFE image , I can help you with the specific QEMU arguments and network mapping commands needed to get your lab running. Share public link

Typically labeled as vqfx-20.2R1-*-pfe-qemu.qcow . This acts as the switching ASIC simulation, responsible for pushing the data bits across interfaces.

Navigate to the official GNS3 Marketplace in your web browser.

Double-check that em1 on the RE maps precisely to em1 on the PFE. Verify that the PFE node is powered on and running. 2. Continuous Boot Loops or Kernel Panics

: Ensure you comply with Juniper Networks' licensing terms and conditions. Some virtual appliances may require specific licenses or have limitations on their use.

Communicates with the RE over an internal virtual bridge network. System Requirements

: Like physical Junos devices, the RE and PFE are separate entities in the virtual environment.

Note: For a functional switch, you must also link this instance to a corresponding PFE instance. Benefits of the 20.2R1.10 Release

Unlike standard network emulators that wrap everything into one image, the vQFX splits the system into two distinct virtual machines. This architecture mirrors physical hardware mechanics:
