These packages have to be modified before we may install them into a qemu FreeBSD machine. Making qemu JunOS router installing JunOS 10.1 OLIVE package inside of qemu FreeBSD under Win 7 64bitĪs the second possibility, we may on the net find original Junos packages, which are preprepared to run inside of real junos HW, all are signed with hash keys. The olive package we may usually install directly inside of FreeBsD machine. This kind of Junos packages are so called OLIVE.

We may found Junos packages which are already preprepared to run inside of FreeBSD, all running inside of PC (real or virtual). On the net we may found different packages and tutorials how to do it. Here again we have several ways available, all of them require junos installation package. Now we will install a junos system inside of qemu FreeBSd virtual machine. For Junos versions of 9, 10 and 11 is 4G enough, for versions 12 and higher should enlarge this up to 10G/12G. For newer versions of junos OS we need to enlarge the disk size and its logical partitions. The tutorial Installing FreeBSD for JunOS Olive using Qemu under Win 7 64bit is describing how to do it.

Import the junos qemu machine into GNS3 and build and run an example of topology.Ĭreating and installing a qemu machine with the FreeBSD OSĪs the first step we have to create a qemu virtual machine.the one which we have to modify and which is based on the domestic-signed JunOS package.Install the FreeBSD operating system on it (4.11).We have to, in general, follow the same steps: The FreeBSD VM is then used as the platform where we install the main JunOS. We need the qemu as the virtualization technology used to make and run FreeBSD VM. I’m using the one provided and installed together within GNS3 install package. I prefer to install version for win 64 bit. Using qemu to run Junos router inside of GNS3 Prerequisities and environmentĪll components are running inside of my Win 7 64 bit OS: I, as a newbie, have been tested some of mentioned opportunities. Preparing FreeBSD virtualized VM we are able install a junos package than. Here again we have several oportunities, how to prepare virtual junos router, all of them require preinstalled FreeBSD OS. So, be able to make and run JunOS inside of GNS3 we could use:Īs the cost effective variance we prefer use open and free software, therefore we are focusing on the qemu and Vitrualbox. Actually there are several ways how to emulate JunOS routers using GNS3 and make to usable them for advanced networking topologies.
