Hello!

Next week I'm going to go to a Juniper course. I have very little experience with Junos and I'm trying to run Olive with no success. Do you have a good tutorial to install this? (I mean you followed that tutorial and it worked great).

I have tried to run Olive in Qemu and in VMware under Windows environment.

I used this one Olive reloaded or how to emulate Juniper routers mostly. It talks about running olive on mac/win/nix.

Mine wouldn't work right until I enabled Virtualization (to enable KVM module) in the computer bios. (I'm on 'nix so don't know if matters on win).

Thanks for the link.

I use Windows so I used a different tutorial:

After a lot of hours, lots of tutorials, and at 23:26 PM I got the damned machine working.

Now I need to connect the two VM but It seems VMware doesn't support multicasting .

It was to good to be true.

It seems Junos loaded in the virtual machine but it doesn't recognize the Junos commands. I am now in some FreeBSD environment:

WTF?

UPDATE: Noob mistake. It's necessary to input "cli" to enter the JUNOS CLI.

Have you tried setting up the VMs in a team and connecting them together with a LAN segment in the team? That's what I did a few years back with VMware Workstation.

What do you mean with "in a team"? My research lead me to configuring WM with the "host only" option.

On VMware Workstation 6, you can create a 'team,' which is basically a group of VMs:



You can then create virtual LAN segments where they connect to:



So you could have two (or more) Olives, each with multiple Ethernet interfaces, with one of those interfaces on each connected to a virtual LAN segment.

How were you going to use multicast for this?

Thanks for the tip.





I went to adapt the info of this links to windows.

Edit: Just for future reference, in WM Worlstation 7.x and 8.x ,the teams concept has been removed. Now the job is done under groups.

You don't need to know anything about multicast for the jncia-junos, but I guess you're going beyond that now?

OSPF and RIP use multicating and it enters in the exam(that was what I read). By the way, I installed JUNOS 10.1 and I was able to establish OSPF adjacencies.
