Juniper in GNS3

Hi, i'm CCNP level in Cisco and I have just got a new job where almost the entire estate is Juniper so i NEED to get up on my Juniper skills and start labbing the way I've always done with Cisco products.

To best go about this from layer 2 switches to routers and firewalls what are my best bet for downloading what images to run in GNS3?

I've looked and come across the SRXv that is a firewall? But then I've read that it can do everything from access layer switches to acting as a firewall?

Are there any other great sites out there to such as networklessons.com (for Cisco) that apply to Juniper?, that site helped me alot with my CCNA & P...

Thanks again everyone!

HI all,

Not sure if this section gets much views, i have same question as Robbo777

Can anyone point me in the right direction to install Juniper router/switches in GNS3 using VMWARE or Virtual box....

Have googled lots and some of the links are dead ends. Any help appreciated.

As I don't work with Juniper products take my words with a grain of salt, but here goes: search for Juniper Olive. It "might" be what you are looking for. At the least, it may give you further direction.

Hey Stryder yes i kinda got that far yesterday "Juniper Olive" will try again now wheil im fresher. Will update if i find what im looking for .

I actually managed to import one olive into v-box and then into gns3 its very glitchy tho and when i did the exact same for a second one it wont load it gets error messages,

Out of curiosity, have you been to the Juniper training website? They might have some tools/videos/etc. that might be more up-to-date and useful.

HI Stryder

I actually have seberal routers running now which seem to be smooth. I am still hunting a switch image tho.

I have browsed the juniper site but no one links to a way to get a home lab up n running unless its with real equipment, TBH my work have already told me i have a bundle of junipers i can take which will probably be a week or two more. Just like having GNS3 lab as its fast to fire up when i have a spare 30-60mins.

Thanks for your help tho
