![]() I personally prefer making full clones for labs because then I don’ t need to worry about maintaining the original VM. Once your done its time to clone Juniper-R01 in order to make more routers to play with.Ĭlick next as we don’t have any snapshots at this stage of the game. Keep adding interfaces until you get to 8 interfaces, you can get away with 4 for most purposesīut I find it easier to have the interfaces ready if needed. You can pick either NAT or Host-only for now. The Network Adapter type doesn’t matter because I will be using LAN segments to connect the VMs together. You can either deploy the OVA 3 more times and add the interfaces to each of them…or you can add the interfaces to Juniper-R01 and clone it to save some time!Įdit Juniper-R01’s virtual machine settings, click Add, and select Network Adapter. We will also want to increase the number of interfaces from 2 to 8 so we have more flexibility. Now a router without any friends is a lonely router indeed so we’ll need to make 3 more vSRXs for it to play with. Once its imported you should see something along the lines of Juniper-R01 depending on how you named your VM. Step 4: Read and accept the License agreement and wait for the import process to complete. I tend to use the following naming convention in my VM based labs if you want to easily follow along. Step 3: In the Import Virtual Machine box, change the name to something that suits you and pick where you want to save the virtual machine and then click import. Step 2: Open up VMware Workstation and open the saved OVA file ( File -> Open -> OVA file)Īlternatively you can also just double click the OVA file if Workstation has the file asscoation. Step 1: Download an evaluation of Firefly using from here and save the OVA file somewhere where you can find it. If you don’t do this you’ll see some weird communication issues when trying to reach the VMs from the host computer. Ideally you’ll want to be able to give each VM around 2gb of RAM but you can always lower it as needed.īefore we get started you’ll want to configure your computer’s NIC(s) for ideal VM communication by going to your Network adapter’s advanced properties in Device Manager and disabling anything to do with Offloading. This post is going to go over the basics of setting up a few Juniper vSRXs instead of VMware Workstation 11 but it will work fine if your not running the latest and greatest version yet. ![]()
