Re: Juniper vMX evaluation - how?

[Jared Geiger]

I too have been waiting a couple weeks for my login to Juniper to do a
trial download of vMX.

A sidenote - the new version of cloudrouter has DPDK support. But I
couldn't get it to boot in my limited afternoon time with it.

Thanks to all who responded (and thanks to the NANOGger who provided me 
with images).


I am a bit disappointed that others have also had the silent treatment 
after signing up to download vMX.


I am unsurprised that vMX 14.x has had teething troubles. I also hope 
JNPR listen to us that Intel are not the only SR-IOV game in town. Onward...

Avoid vMX 14.x - go straight to 15.x, save yourself worlds of pain. 15.x runs 
well kvm/esxi/etc.

Re: Juniper vMX evaluation - how?

[Edwin Mallette]

I downloaded it in the past and can¹t remember having any issues
downloading itŠ Getting it to work in my environment was a bit more
challenging, however.  I do have a Juniper login which is required.  I
also just verified that I can download application package:

vMX 

MD5 SHA1 
15.1F4
tgz
1,561,459,359
28 Dec 2015


You need to be logged in to download the vMX archive as well as the eval
license key.  Both I was able to get once logged in.

Cheers,

Ed

Re: Juniper vMX evaluation - how?

[Randy Carpenter]

Creating the juniper.net account should be pretty straightforward. If there is 
an issue in getting the login to work, I would contact Juniper.

If they are an authorized partner, then $RESELLER would surely have access to 
the download.

thanks,

Re: Juniper vMX evaluation - how?

[Josh Baird]

It was a struggle to get anywhere with vMX when we last tried ~8months
ago.  Nobody at Juniper seemed to know anything about it or who to talk
to.  In any event, you may be able to get more information by asking over
at juniper-nsp@.

I'd be interested as well — I submitted a form, nothing but crickets.

Juniper vMX evaluation - how?

[Bruce Simpson]

Pardon if this is off-topic -- but this is really beginning to wind me up.

So, http://www.juniper.net/us/en/dm/free-vmx-trial/ shows that Juniper 
Networks vMX is available for a 60-day evaluation. This requires filling 
out a form to create an account on juniper.net.


I don't currently have such a login. $CLIENT filled out such a form well 
over a month ago, and never heard anything back. Normally, I'd expect to 
be able to download as soon as an account is approved. Meanwhile, we get 
preoccupied with other tasks.


Is some special magic required to acquire an evaluation copy? The 60 day 
trial license is directly downloadable from the above link, but the 
tarball is not. $CLIENT was just referred to it by $RESELLER.
