If you are running the image manually on a Linux KVM host, use a launch script similar to this:
Log into the Junos CLI and verify chassis network services via show chassis fpc . If the slot shows "Offline," restart the PFE instance entirely.
Setting up vQFX is not always smooth. Here are some common issues and their solutions:
Upload the vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 file to that newly created directory using an SFTP client. Once uploaded, EVE-NG requires the primary hard drive to be named hda.qcow2 . Rename it using the following command: vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 work
Check your topology connections. Ensure the second interface of the RE VM is directly connected to the first interface of the PFE VM.
Run the modified image:
The PFE receives forwarding tables from the RE and maps them to virtual external interfaces (like xe-0/0/0 , xe-0/0/1 ) to pass traffic to other lab devices. Requirements for Deployment If you are running the image manually on
virtual data center switch emulator. To make this specific image work in a virtual lab like GNS3, EVE-NG, Cisco Modeling Labs (CML), or Containerlab , you must deploy it alongside its twin Packet Forwarding Engine (vPFE) image—typically named vqfx-20.2R1-xxxx-pfe-qemu.qcow —and bridge them together.
To deploy this image successfully, the host system requires the following resources per vQFX instance:

To run the RE image standalone or manually via the command line, use the following QEMU syntax. This configures the management interface, the internal communication interface, and the serial console.
