The bundle vmxbundle-17.1R1.8.tgz is an archive for Juniper’s vMX (Virtual MX Series)
Part 3: How It Works – Anatomy of the vMX Bundle
- Symptom: The VCP (Control Plane) boots, but the VFP (Forwarding Plane) fails to initialize, or the
vmmgr process loops.
- Result: You waste hours troubleshooting a broken image that was never properly uploaded or was a failed upgrade.
Networking OS images (like Junos, Cisco IOS, etc.) are prime targets for malicious actors.
VFP Setup:
Create the VFP folder and copy the vFPC-20170216.img (or similar VFP image from the bundle) as virtioa.qcow2 .
