Vmx-bundle-17.1r1.8.tgz

If you log into the Junos VCP and find that running show interfaces terse displays no ge-0/0/0 or xe-0/0/0 interfaces, the internal link between the VCP and VFP is broken.

Understanding the current status of the vMX product is crucial before building new infrastructure around it.

This runs the packet processing engine, driven by Juniper's Trio chipset architecture compiled for x86 using the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). It handles the actual transient transit traffic, firewall filters, and forwarding tables. The VFP corresponds to the Line Card / Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) in physical hardware.
