Junos Router Emulator

Just about to embark on studying for my JNCIA-ES and wanted to find something I could use to help me practice configs. The trouble was that I was not going to have access to a J-Series router all the times I needed to study. So as I was looking around the internetI found a site that has a guide on how to build your very own Junos Emulator using QEMU and VMWARE.The link to the site is http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive . I have not had the time to try the install guide just yet, but will be having a attempt at it in the next week or so. I did however find a link from this site to a very enterprising guy from China who has built a VMware image and made it available for download via bittorrent. Link to his site http://www.one-tom.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=5002 you will need to run it thru Google Translator to get an english translation of it. I wll update this post with my progress.

Update
———
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules (content: « KERNEL==”kqemu”, NAME=”%k”, MODE=”0666″ »)

Had to add the above line to my rules in the VMWare images to get it to work and then I had to perform the following

mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0; chmod 666 /dev/kqemu
