The Virtual Infrastructure: Understanding the vQFX-10000 in Emulated Environments
If PFE shows Online , your image works. If Offline or Testing — the qcow2 lacks proper kernel modules for your hypervisor’s virtual NIC.
Deep Dive: Making vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 Work in Your Network Lab vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 work
A critical step in making a vQFX work is correctly connecting the RE and PFE VMs. The standard internal connection is between the interface on the RE and the em1 interface on the PFE . Without this link, the control and data planes cannot communicate, and the switch will not function.
This command will display important details about the image, such as its virtual size, disk size (actual usage), and format. The standard internal connection is between the interface
uses a dual-VM architecture: the Routing Engine (RE) for the control plane and the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) for the data plane.
