top shows wa at 15-20%, and juno-main slows down. Cause: The QCOW2 backing file is on a slow rotational HDD or a network share. Fix:
mkdir vqfxre-20.2R1.10 mkdir vqfxpfe-20.2R1
Enable ( -enable-kvm ) in your advanced QEMU settings.
file, this runs the Junos OS control plane. It handles management, protocol processing, and configuration. Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE): Often a separate file like pfe-qemu.qcow , this simulates the data plane and ASIC behavior Practical Applications These images are indispensable for several reasons: Juniper vQFX - - EVE-NG vqfx202r110reqemuqcow2 top
This stands for Routing Engine . In a vQFX setup, the architecture is split into two parts: the RE (Control Plane) and the PFE (Packet Forwarding Engine). This specific file handles the "brains" of the switch.
The filename vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 refers to the Routing Engine (RE) disk image for the Juniper vQFX

This report outlines the deployment and resource characteristics of the Juniper vQFX Routing Engine (RE) using the image vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2 1. Image Specification vqfx-20.2R1.10-re-qemu.qcow2
Containerlab is the go-to for DevOps/NetOps workflows, packaging the VM as a Docker container. To deploy:
Run the EVE-NG wrapper script to ensure the image is bootable. /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions 2. Preparation in GNS3 GNS3 typically uses an appliance template ) to automate this setup. Import Template: Download the Juniper vQFX RE appliance and import it into GNS3. Manual VM Settings: If creating manually, use these parameters: 1024 MB (minimum). virtio-net-pci (Critical for RE/PFE communication). Increase to 12 (to support multiple interfaces). 3. Interconnection Requirements file, this runs the Junos OS control plane

If the switch comes up, you are ready to monitor it.
# Install qemu utilities sudo apt-get install qemu-utils -y
Now run a traffic generator (e.g., pktgen from another VM) pushing 1 Gbps of VXLAN traffic. Re-run top on the leaf. You should see:
