Olive reloaded or how to emulate Juniper routers

1. Introduction

This article explain you how to emulate Juniper JunOS on a PC using Qemu [http://www.qemu.org/] . This is an updated and enhanced version of excelle

howtos from Juniper Clue [http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive] and Internetwork P

[http://inetpro.org/wiki/Using_QEMU_with_Olive_to_emulate_Juniper_Routers] as well as Himawan Nugrohos bl

[http://brokenpipes.blogspot.com/2008/01/olive-is-alive.html] . I mainly focused on Qemu, so if you wish to install JunOS on a real PC or using VMwar

please have a look at the Juniper Clue [http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive] article for more information(and of course Google).

So whats new you would say? First, I chose to use the latest version of Qemu [http://www.qemu.org/] : the 0.11.0 which supports the Intel e10

network card emulation since version 0.10.0. and includes several fixes for it. I have modified and adapted the old patch for Qemu 0.11.0, it includes t

UDP tunnel (connection to Dynamips/GNS3), PCAP and LCAP support. Also, the patc h allows multicast traffic with the e1000, i82557b and i82559

Qemu emulated network cards. Moreover, this article show how to emulate JunOS on multiple operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows XP and Lin

Ubuntu 9.04 without using an untrustworthy obscure binary downloaded from a forum you cant even read the language

DisclaimerPlease note that JunOS is not provided and will not be. So please dont ask. Also, I do not take any responsibility on what happen on your PC, keep

mind this howto requires some patience and that is not for complete beginners. Moreover, this howto doesnt necessarily present the best and/or easi

way to emulate JunOS. This is the cleanest and less intrusive for me but please feel free to give me constructive comments and tell what worked or didn

worked for you.

What is a Olive?This is very well summarized on the JuniperClue [http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive] website:

Olive is also the codename name given to JUNOS software running on an PC rather than a Juniper router. A common misconception is tha

Olive is some sort of special software, but it is actually ordinary JUNOS software running on a PC of similar specifications to a Routin

Engine, with no forwarding hardware (or PFE) attached. If you took a Routing Engine out of a Juniper router and booted it in a blade serve

chassis, it would ef fectively be an Olive.

Juniper originally developed Olive functionality as a softwaredevelopment platform, before its hardware product was fully implemented. It i

not intended as a router simulator, and has never been a supported product, or intended for use by the general public in any way. At on

point it was used by Juniper internally for lab work, but has largely been phased out of this role with the availability of low-end hardwar

based platforms such as the M5.

The most common use of the Olive platform is for creative and unix-competent hackers to learn the JUNOS CLI on a low-cost platform. It i

capable of forwarding a small amount of traffic, but does not support many of the features found on real Juniper routers. Essentially th

forwarding on an Olive is the same as routing traffic via your fxp0 or em0 management interface on a real Routing Engine.

Ok so why all the secrecy?Again, JuniperClue [http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/Olive] explained all of this:

Junipers official position is that Olive does not exist. Considering that Olive is an unsupported and unsupportable platform using free (ak

illegally licensed) software, this is not an unreasonable official position. Olive is essentially a hackers platform, with absolutely no support o

any kind, and it is not suitable for any type of commercial use. If you are in any doubt, or if you are not able to f igure it out, you should inves

in a low-cost platform such as J-Series instead.

It is also important to remember that Olive exists because Juniper allows it to exist, and is a testament to the mutual respect between th

extremely knowledgeable developer and user bases. If the Olive platform became widely abused, Juniper could easily add additional softwar

checks to prevent it from working. Please do not abuse this feature by doing stupid things like contacting JTAC for support on an Olive, o

selling illegal copies of the software as router simulators. This type of activity is likely to have serious legal consequences and/or provoke

justified response from Juniper, so just dont do it.

Ive followed all the instructionbut after qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime -nographic -serial stdio, nothing happen. No qemu windowappear and I

only can see stderr and stdout files in the Qemu folder.

stderr notepadshows:

Everything went smoothly following the directionsexactly a written, t ill I actually got t o pkg_add.

The VM complained about not enough space, saying I needed to change PKG_TMPDIR to a location that had at least 905682568 bytes. I cleaned out files I dont need any

more and made sure PKG_TMPDIR was p ointing to /var/tmp. After clening out the files I had 1060060 K bytes free. So that should be enough. But kept gett ing same error.

O tried to run scp [email protected]:~/Desktop /jinstall-8.5R1.14-domestic-signed.tgz /var/tmp command but request gets t imed out.

I put my PCs hostname instead of user, even i tried with the user i logged in with in my pc but still the request is getting timed out ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.2 port 22:

Operationtime out

I wasted my 3 days to resolved this dont know y its not working.

I had p ut only qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime command when booting olive image cause when i p ut qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -

FTR, the pcap check in the patch is wrong.

Compiler barfs at not caster int return and also,

the $TMPC should be abefore the $LIBPCAP for the test compile to work.

Does anyone running this on a MAC OS X 10.6 know the replacement option for -cdrom in the QEMU command:

qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -cdrom 4.11-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso \ -boot d -localtime

/Volumes doesnt work. Us ing the mount point doesnt work. I had t his working on 10.5, but remember -cdrom didnt work.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Im not able to proceed with the following command:

-localtime -net nic,macaddr=00:aa:00:60:01:01,model=e1000 -net user

It p roduces a stderr.txt file containing:

If I remove this option, it produces another error:

qemu: could not open monitor device `stdio`

Anyone else having this same issue?

Hi to all,

Ive tried to emulate JUNOS in GNS3 without success.

When I use t he command qemu -m 256 -hda olive-base.img -boot c -localtime \ -net nic -net t ap,ifname=tap0 -net nic,macaddr=00:aa:00:60:01:01,model=e1000 -net us er

(in Ubuntu 10.04) and after creating the tap interface with tunctl, I get t he following message:

cant add tap0 to bridge wlan0: operation not supportedIve tried to do it using the eth0 interface instead of wlan0, but I got t he same results.

can anyone t ell me whats wrong??

Thanks!!

hi,

once olive is loaded, I configure an ip address for the en0 interface and do a commit but the check-out fails with this message:

vci/vpi/allow-any-vci is required

how is this possible if my interface is en0?
