1 Introduction
This document is a complete, step-by-step guide for installing and configuring a JunOS Olive on a
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit system. The guide starts with setting up and installing a QEMU emulated
FreeBSD virtual machine, progressing onto tailoring the JunOS installation package, followed by
carrying out the JunOS installation itself and finally, setting up GNS3.

JunOS 12.3.R6.6 (legal copy)
1.2 Pre-Requisites
64-bit Ubuntu in order for the QEMU software to create images that can use more than
2047M of memory. QEMU running under 32-bit Ubuntu is only able to support 2047M of
memory for each emulated machine.
QEMU emulator (apt-get install qemu)
FreeBSD i386 ISO image
Legal copy of JunOS router software (jinstall-12.3R6.6-export-signed.tgz)
GNS3 (apt-get install gns3)
A lot of patience, endless cups of coffee and a plentiful supply of hand-rolling tobacco
Note-1: I have not shown all of the package dependencies for brevity. However, once you have
installed QEMU, issue the apt-get build-dep command to download the associated library and
other files.
Note-2: I am also running KVM on the host machine. However, it is not necessary to run KVM to
complete this installation.
Note-3: Follow these steps to the letter. Download the FreeBSD ISO image from the URL above,
not from other links. There are quite a few ISO files around not all of which are exactly the same.
Note-4: I have carried out some brutal hacks to the JunOS install package scripts to get the
installation to work. The software developers would probably be horrified, but the end justifies the
means and the result is a perfectly formed emulated router that supports most of the core routing
functionality.
1.3 Top-Level Directories

Open a terminal window.
Create the following directories underneath your home folder (in my case the home directory is
/home/tony):
JUNOS
FREEBSD
OLIVE
1.4 File Downloads

Download the 4.11-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso from the following URL into the FREEBSD
directory:
http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.11/
Download the jinstall-12.3R6.6-export-signed.tgz file into the JUNOS directory.
Copy the FreeBSD ISO file and the JunOS files to the OLIVE directory. It's a good idea to work on
copies of the original files so that you can always get back to a known position if things go awry.
2 FreeBSD Installation
2.1 Create the Virtual Disk Image
1.
Change directory into the OLIVE directory.
2.
Issue the following command to create a qcow2 format 16G disk image. Please note that the
disk image is initially very small (only about 197K) but it is allowed to grow to the specified
size. The final disk image with both FreeBSD and JunOS installed is around 3.2G.
qemu-img create -f qcow2 freebsd-4.11.img 16384M
The OLIVE directory should now contain the following files:

root@tony:~/OLIVE# ls l
total 239368
-rw------- 1 root root 244912128 Apr 21 03:30 4.11-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root
197120 Apr 21 03:30 freebsd-4.11.img
2.2 Boot the Disk Image & Install FreeBSD

1.
Start the virtual machine using the disk image as the hard disk and the FreeBSD ISO file as a
bootable CDROM. The virtual machine has 4096M of memory. The -boot d specifies that the
machine should boot first from the CDROM drive.
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096M -hda freebsd-4.11.img -cdrom 4.11-RELEASEi386-miniinst.iso -boot d
2.
QEMU boots the virtual machine in a new window. The 4G of memory allocated is quite
generous as the i386 FreeBSD machine can only see around 3G but the intention is to ensure
that there is no resource bottleneck.

Figure-40
2.3 Start the VM Locate the /usr/bin/true File

The JunOS installation scripts run a binary programme called checkpic to determine PIC support
for the platform on which the operating system is being installed. We will be using emulated
interfaces so it is necessary to fool the installation process into thinking that it has run the
checkpic programme successfully.
The Linux /usr/bin/true binary always returns success when it exits so we need this file to copy it
over the checkpic binary when we unpack the JunOS installation package later on.
All Linux machines have a copy of the true binary file. However, it is vital that we use the true
binary file obtained from the FreeBSD guest VM otherwise the installation will fail.
1.
Open a terminal window on the host and boot the VM but this time we don't need to mount the
CDROM because the FreeBSD OS is installed.
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096M -hda freebsd-4.11.img
2.
Log into the machine with username root and the system manager's password that was
entered during the installation process.
Note: When you click inside the VM window the VM grabs the cursor. If you need to return to the
hosts windowing system, hold the CTRL+ALT keys to release the cursor.
3.
Locate the /usr/bin/true file:

# ls /usr/bin/true
/usr/bin/true
#
24
4.
Shut down the guest VM. When the press any key to reboot message is displayed, exit the
QEMU emulator using CTRL+ALT+2 and type in quit.
Figure-41
2.4 OpenVPN & TUN/TAP Interfaces

OpenVPN is an open source application that allows secure point-to-point tunnels to be created
between hosts at the same or different sites. In this case, we're using OpenVPN to allow the
Ubuntu host computer to talk to the guest FreeBSD VM so that we can retrieve its /usr/bin/true
binary file. The connection between the host and guest VM is bridged.
The connectivity is shown below:
Host
HomeGW <-----> LAN <-----> [eth0][br1][tap0] <-----> [tap0]Guest
.254
192.168.1.0
192.168.1.86
192.168.1.91
1.
From a terminal window on the Ubuntu host, set up the bridge br1, physical eth0 and
OpenVPN tap0 interfaces (on the host computer). Please note that these steps assume that
there are no pre-existing bridge interfaces already running, which there will be if you are
running KVM, for example. If there are pre-existing bridge interfaces, you must shut them
down and delete them first.
2.
Bring down the eth0 interface on the host:

25
root@tony:~# ifconfig eth0 down
3.
Bring the eth0 interface back up with no IP address (please note that you may have to
disable network manager to ensure that it doesn't automatically use DHCP to obtain an IP
address for eth0).
root@tony:~# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
root@tony:~# ifconfig
eth0

Interrupt:20 Memory:f3900000-f3920000
4.
Create an OpenVPN TAP interface that will be the end point of our tunnel to the guest VM. In
this example I'm using tap0 as the tunnel device name for the Ubuntu host. The --mktun
keyword makes the tunnel interface and sets it to ON:
root@tony:~# openvpn
--mktun
--dev
tap0
Mon Apr 21 05:28:56 2014 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened
Mon Apr 21 05:28:56 2014 Persist state set to: ON
5.
Add a bridge interface (br1 in this example) and associate it with physical interface eth0
and tunnel interface tap0. This association between the bridge, physical and tunnel
interfaces will allow us to bridge traffic between the Ubuntu host and the guest VM:
root@tony:~# brctl

8.
Force a DHCP request on the br1 interface over the physical eth0 interface for br1 to
obtain an IP address, default gateway and DNS information.
root@tony:~# dhclient -v br1

9.
Re-start the guest FreeBSD VM telling it to use the tap0 interface as its NIC to communicate.
27
It is possible to use scripts to assign and to start / stop tunnel interfaces but in this example I
am specifying explicitly that no scripts are being used.
root@tony:~# qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096M -hda freebsd-4.11.img -net nic net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no
Log into the guest VM when it has finished booting. Remember to use CTRL+ALT to escape from
the cursor grab as and when required.
Figure-42
10. Note that the guest VMs em0 interface is active but it does not yet have any IP address
information.
28
Figure-43
11. Issuing a dhclient em0 command on the guest VM brings up the em0 interface.
Figure-44
12. The guest VM em0 interface now also has an IP address (192.168.1.91). The DHCP request
was tunnelled over the tap0 interface to the host computer's bridge interface, which
broadcast the DHCP request to the Home GW on the LAN. The Home GW obliged and
allocated an IP address to the guest VM.
The guest VM can now ping the host IP (192.168.1.86) and the Home GW IP (192.168.1.254).
29
Figure-45
13. In fact, the guest VM can also perform DNS look-ups to access the Internet.

2.5 Copying the True File to the Host Machine

1.
SCP the file /usr/bin/true to the host computer and place it in the OLIVE directory.
30
Figure-47
It is now possible to start unpacking and configuring the JunOS installation package. Shut down
the guest VM and exit the QEMU emulator using CTRL+ALT+2 and typing quit.
2.
If you wish to remove the br1 and tap0 interfaces from the host computer: Bring down the
eth0, br1 and tap0 interfaces.
root@tony:~# ifconfig br1 down
root@tony:~# ifconfig eth0 down
root@tony:~# ifconfig tap0 down
3.
Delete the br1 interface.

root@tony:~# brctl delbr br1
root@tony:~# brctl show

--------------------------------------------------------
4.
Remove the tap0 tunnel interface.

root@tony:~# openvpn --rmtun --dev tap0
Mon Apr 21 07:10:15 2014 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened
Mon Apr 21 07:10:15 2014 Persist state set to: OFF
5.
Bring the eth0 interface back up.

root@tony:~# ifconfig eth0 up

Where freebsd-4.11.img is the virtual disk image of the FreeBSD machine onto which we will
install JunOS.
The JunOS package is signed. This means that we must ensure that we modify carefully the
various SHA1 and MD5 checksums as we progress with each change. Invalid hashes will result in
the installation failing.
Create the following directory structure underneath the OLIVE directory.

there are 2 x pkgtools.tgz files in the installation packages. One is unpacked now to temp4,
the other is unpacked to temp5 in the next step.

5.
Change to the temp5 directory. Copy the ~/OLIVE/true file that we obtained from the
FreeBSD guest VM to the bin subdirectory such that it overwrites the bin/checkpic file.
Obtain the checksum of the new checkpic file:
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3# cd temp5
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp5# cp ~/OLIVE/true bin/checkpic
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp5# shasum bin/checkpic
21f98b3edcef39bfb0d7989664998c264a9a0cc8 bin/checkpic
6.
Edit the pkg/manifest file, delete the old checksum and replace it with the new checkpic
files checksum obtained above.
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp5# more pkg/manifest

7.
Because weve changed the manifest file, we need to obtain its new checksum and edit the
the pkg/manifest.sha1 file to replace the old checksum.
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp5# shasum pkg/manifest

8.
Our work in temp5 is done. Package everything back up into the pkgtools.tgz archive in
directory temp3 above. Note use of the flags zcfv and the fact that unlike the unpack
command they are not preceded with a - sign.
34
When done, change up to the temp3 directory and delete the temp5 directory.
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3/temp5# tar zcfv ../pkgtools.tgz *

root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3# rm -r temp5/
9.
Now that we're back in the temp3 directory with the new pkgtools.tgz archive, we need to
re-generate the pkgtools.tgz.sha1 file to hold a new checksum. We also need to edit the new
pkgtools.tgz.sha1 file to remove some of the header information leaving only the checksum
itself.
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3# openssl sha1 pkgtools.tgz >
pkgtools.tgz.sha1
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3# more pkgtools.tgz.sha1
SHA1(pkgtools.tgz)= ef546536e4ff859d54e85a21df31b9ae5092b39b
After editing:
root@tony:~/OLIVE/temp1/temp2/temp3# more pkgtools.tgz.sha1
ef546536e4ff859d54e85a21df31b9ae5092b39b
10. Change up to the temp2 directory but do not delete the temp3 directory. We need to come
back here later on to edit some of the installation scripts. When in the temp2 directory,
change down to the temp4 directory. We need to repeat the process of replacing the
checkpic file with the true file and re-generating new checksums.

temp3
3.2 Edit the Installation Scripts

3.2.1
temp1 Directory Files
+INSTALL
Change directory to OLIVE/temp1. Issue the following sed command to change all
36
occurrences of olive to Olive i.e. anything that begins with a lower-case o must be
changed to an upper-case O. Note that the names of the script files begin with + so it is
only these that we are interested in.
sed -i "s|olive|Olive|g" +*
Edit the +INSTALL file and carry out the following changes. Note that some commands (such
as more) on files beginning with special characters (such as +) don't work. However, you
can edit the file using a built-in text editor or use vi. You can also cat the file to examine its
contents. If you have any problems, move the file to a different name, edit it and move it back
again.
Change the existing +INSTALL script using the following in blue, exactly as shown. It is
necessary to extract the jinstall files to the jinstall_pkg directory and comment out the rm
line to leave the jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz archive in place. Later on, we will install the
packages using the jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz archive rather than installing from the
directory. Some versions of BSD will not install from a directory preferring instead to install
from an archive file.
inner=jinstall_pkg
extractInner() {
DebugOn extractInner
if [ -s jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz ]; then
mkdir -p $inner
tar -zxf jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz -C $inner
#
save space now...
#
rm jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz
fi
DebugOff extractInner
}
Force the installation by referencing the archive. Comment out the pkg_add line that
references $inner and add the line that contains the full jinstall archive file name.
extractInner
if [ -d $etc_pkgdir/$pkgname ] ; then
# see if the package will be happy before we de-install
RunREQUIRE || exit 1
echo "Auto-deleting old $pkgname..."
PKG_UPGRADE=: pkg_delete $pkgname
fi
echo "Adding jinstall..."
# pkg_add $PKG_FORCE $inner || fail=1
pkg_add $PKG_FORCE jinstall-12.3R6.6-export.tgz
Change the re_model and re_name to Olive rather than allowing the script to use
the FreeBSD sysctl kernel parameters. The installation scripts frequently reference the
sysctl parameters hw.product.model, hw.re.name and he.re.model.
The goofy thing is that these parameters simply don't exist on the various versions of FreeBSD
that I experimented with.
It isn't necessary to change all occurrences of product_model. Some oid unknown error
messages are displayed during installation but this does not prevent the installation from
37
succeeding.
However, it is essential to replace the occurrences below, particularly for the re_name and
re_model variables otherwise the installation fails. I experimented replacing these unknown
FreeBSD sysctl OIDs with known ones, such as kern.hostname but the installation failed at
the back-end of the jinstall process. The installation succeeds if you make the following
changes in blue.
platform_check() {
DebugOn platform_check
#
#
product_model=`sysctl -n hw.product.model`
product_model="Olive"
re_model=`sysctl -n hw.re.model`-i
re_model="Olive"
case "$1:$product_model:$re_model" in
*:Olive) ;;
# ok
jseries:j[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]:*) ;; # ok
check_arch_compatibility()
{
#
re_name=`/sbin/sysctl -n hw.re.name 2>/dev/null`
re_name="Olive"
if [ -z "$re_name" ]; then
Error "hw.re.name sysctl not supported."
fi
3.2.2
+INSTALL
Change directory to temp2. Issue the following sed command to change all occurrences of
olive to Olive.
This section of the +INSTALL file in the temp2 directory is shafted. It tries to compute
the available disk space in the root partition. Different versions of FreeBSD return different
formatted output when the disklabel (a.k.a. bsdlabel) command is used within the script.
Other script items are broken. For example, the disklabel command issued on disk partition
ad0s1a fails. It must be issued using the disk name ad0s1 without the partition letter. The
script attempts to remove the partition letter using ${rootdev%a} but this statement doesn't
work for the version of FreeBSD we are using.
Also, the output of the disklabel command is piped to sed. Unfortunately, the sed search
and replacement command doesn't work either. Rather than trying to fix something that is so
badly broken for this version of FreeBSD, I decided to just hard-code the number of root
partition blocks in the script. I obtained this figure from logging into the guest and issuing the
disklabel command manually. Also, I don't care that I'm specifying one parameter in blocks
when the comparison is done with megabytes. The important thing is that the difference is
greater than 256M.
rootdev_min=256
# allow 10% slop to account for different manufacturers.
38
rootdev_minsz=`expr $ $rootdev_min \* 90 / 100 $ \* 2048`

3.3 Re-Package the Script Files

1.
Change to the temp3 directory. Re-pack all the files into the jbundle-12.3R6.6-export.tgz
archive in the temp2 directory above. Recall that we have already re-generated the SHA1
checksum for the pkgtools.tgz file in this directory so no further tinkering with checksums is
needed. When complete, change up to the temp2 directory and delete the temp3 directory.

23. We're not done yet. We need to shut down the router and configure GNS3. In the meantime,
take a look at how it's affecting host computer resources. A few spikes but not too bad overall
CPU and memory wise. Although this reasonably low resource usage changes when we run
more than one JunOS router in GNS3.

Figure-69
24. Halt the router. Exit the QEMU emulator before it has a chance to reboot using the usual
CTRL+ALT+2 to quit the emulator.
61
Figure-70
25. The file freebsd-4.11.img is the router's operating system file. You can rename this to
whatever you wish. I have renamed it to junos-12.3R6.6.img for use in GNS3.
4 Setting up GNS3
1.
Open a terminal window on the host computer. Find the file qemuwrapper.py and copy it to
keep a backup copy just in case.
root@tony:~/OLIVE# ls /usr/share/gns3/qemuwrapper.py
/usr/share/gns3/qemuwrapper.py
root@tony:~/OLIVE# cp /usr/share/gns3/qemuwrapper.py
/usr/share/gns3/qemuwrapper.py.original
2.
Edit the file /usr/share/gns3/qemuwrapper.py and change the variables shown in blue to the
following values (these apply to the Linux implementation of GNS3):
if platform.system() == 'Windows':
if os.path.exists('Qemu\qemu-system-i386w.exe'):
62
QEMU_PATH = "Qemu\qemu-system-i386w.exe"
QEMU_IMG_PATH = "Qemu\qemu-img.exe"
else:
# For now we ship Qemu 0.11.0 in the all-in-one
QEMU_PATH = "qemu.exe"
QEMU_IMG_PATH = "qemu-img.exe"
else:
QEMU_PATH = "qemu-system-x86_64"
QEMU_IMG_PATH = "/usr/bin/qemu-img"
3.
Start GNS3.
Figure-71
4.
Select Edit --> Preferences --> Qemu Settings. Set the following:
Path to qemu:
qemu-system-x86_64
Path to qemu-img:
qemu-img
The rest are default values that should be OK.

Click the Test Settings button. The tests pass. Ignore the pemu message in red, this relates
to emulated PIX firewall software, which we haven't installed.
Click Apply.
63
Figure-72
5.
Select the JunOS tab. Enter a device description and the location of where the JunOS image
will reside. In this example I renamed the file freebsd-4.11.img to junos-12.3R6.6.img and
copied it to the /home/tony/GNS3/Images directory, the default location for GNS3 images.
You can set the path to your Images and Projects directories in the General --> General
Settings tab.
Allocate the RAM to the device. You will probably find that 2048M is sufficient.
Allocate the number of interfaces. These are configured on the router as em0 to em5.
Leave the NIC model as e1000 and click Save, then click Apply.
64
Figure-73
6.
Navigate to the General --> Terminal Settings tab. Select Putty (Linux/BSD) as the
terminal type and click Use. In the Terminal command: field, enter putty -telnet %h %p.
Note that you can add other PUTTY parameters to this line if you wish.
Always click Apply after any changes otherwise they will be lost.
65
Figure-74
7.
Create a couple of routers by dragging them from the left-hand pane and dropping them in the
work area.
66
Figure-75
8.
Connect the routers together by clicking on the connection icon in the the left-most pane.
Move the cursor over the first router and click. A drop down box showing interfaces em0 to
em5 is displayed. Click the interface you want, drag the line to the second router and repeat
the process.
The interfaces stay red until the routers are started.
Un-click the connector icon when the connection(s) have been added.
67
Figure-76
9.
Right click each router and select Start. Two guest VM windows appear. Minimise these.
68
Figure-77
10. Console to the router(s). Right click on a router and select Console from the drop-down
menu, or click the terminal icon in the top menu bar.
The PUTTY terminal opens and the routers continue their boot process.
69
Figure-78
11. Start configuring. Remember to shut down the routers in an orderly fashion when you have
finished, much as you would with real devices. Also, once the routers have halted, exit from
the QEMU emulators using CTRL+ALT+2 and remember to right-click and stop the routers in
GNS3.
You can save topologies with the associated configurations as well as being able to create
labelled topologies and network diagrams in the GNS3 work space.
70
Figure-79
5 VERDICT
The FreeBSD VM could have been configured with less memory and disk space. The memory can
be tweaked in the GNS3 settings.
However, the JunOS 12.3R6.6 image (JTAC recommended) is not lightweight and 2 x routers is
probably all that the host could handle in anger.
The main advantage of using a larger Olive in GNS3 is that you can verify syntax as well as basic
functionality.
I have yet to mix this Olive with smaller Cisco devices to gauge performance, although I have
configured up to 4 x JunOS 10.1R1.8 devices in a topology and up to 6 x Cisco 2600 devices in a
separate topology. Performance was not great, but acceptable.
