Wait, this blog talks about running cRPD on Docker Desktop (), available only for Mac (running OS/X) and PC (running Windows). Why not just take the control plane daemons from Junos (cli, mgd, rpd and the likes), port them to Linux, package it into a Linux container and ship it? It sounded really hard to me but engineering delivered the first commercial version with in 2019 with Junos 19.2! cRPD OverviewĬontainerized routing protocol process (cRPD) is Juniper’s routing protocol daemon (rpd) decoupled from Junos OS and packaged as a Docker container to run in Linux based environments.

The resource requirements on memory, CPU and storage are, however, too big to run efficiently on laptops. I became an immediate fan and started to deploy them frequently on Linux servers. But it was a bit like “walking on thin ice”, as some features just weren’t supported and there was nowhere to report them to.Ī few years ago, the vMX ( ) was born, which separated the Junos control plane from the forwarding plane, each running in their separate virtual machines.

I used that unofficial code to get up to speed on Junos and the various routing protocols. When I joined Juniper 12 years ago as a Systems Engineer, I heard about an unofficial project called “Olive”, which allowed Junos to run in a virtual machine. Junos has been the network operating systems on routers and switches for nearly 25 years now, tightly integrated on Juniper hardware.

This blog post walks you through getting up and running using Docker Desktop, enabling ssh and applying basic Junos automation scripts via PyEz, all from the comfort of your laptop. For the first time in history, it is possible to run Junos instances on a Mac or PC laptop to learn and test Junos and its routing protocols.
