What's New
vJunosEvolved-BX is a virtual version of a Juniper platform PTX10002-36QDD that runs the Junos OS Evolved. You can install a vJunosEvolved-BX as a virtual machine (VM) on an x86 server. vJunosEvolved-BX is a single virtual machine (VM) that you can use only in labs and not in the production environment. The vJunosEvolved-BX is built using PTX10002-36QDD as a reference Juniper router, which is a fixed-configuration packet transport router on the Junos® OS Evolved platform.
The vJunosEvolved-BX Routing Engine and the vBX-COSIM (a virtual BX chip) that performs the packet processing run on the same VM. The same vJunosEvolved QCOW2 image is used with vJunosEvolved-BX specific QEMU arguments.
Instead of using hardware router, you can use the vJunosEvolved-BX to start the Junos software for testing the network configurations and protocols. The vJunosEvolved-BX virtual platform primarily acts as a test platform for lab simulations for the customers.
