: Powered by the vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 image. It runs Junos OS and acts as the brain.
SSH into your EVE-NG server and create a subdirectory under the QEMU path matching EVE-NG's expected naming template. mkdir -p /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-20.2R1.10/ Use code with caution.
When running top on your vQFX 20.2R1.10 QCOW2 image, you may encounter:
In GNS3, you can use the Juniper vQFX RE Appliance Template ( .gns3a ) to handle provisioning. If configuring manually, use the following specifications: vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 top
The qcow2 part refers to the disk image format. QCOW2 stands for . It is the recommended and most widely used format for QEMU/KVM virtual machines. Key features include:
You can integrate the vQFX into GitLab Runner or Jenkins pipelines. By scripting the boot process, you can spin up a vQFX, push a configuration via Ansible, run PyTest scripts against EVPN routes, and tear it down—all automatically .

Since the PFE image ( reqemu.qcow2 ) acts as the data plane, it is resource-intensive. To get stable performance, you must allocate resources correctly in your hypervisor (KVM/QEMU/VirtualBox via tools like GNS3, EVE-NG, or Juniper's own Vagrant boxes).
The vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 image provides a for lab environments. Its best feature is the ability to prototype complex EVPN-VXLAN fabrics (including Spine-Leaf architectures) with full support for high-availability features like GRES/NSR, which are usually exclusive to physical hardware.
Before we spin up any virtual machines, we need to understand exactly what "vQFX" is and why the specific version 20.2R1.10 matters. mkdir -p /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/vqfxre-20
Set the CPU model template to host instead of the default QEMU virtual CPU. This passes native hardware instructions directly into the guest OS. Resolving Missing Interfaces
