Unlike a simple VM image, the "bundle" is an orchestration package. It includes:

Intel VT-x support is mandatory. For the VFP, CPUs with AES-NI and SSE 4.1/4.2 are highly recommended for performance. RAM: VCP: Minimum 2GB.

Python and Shell scripts designed to automate the creation of the virtual tap interfaces and bridge connections. Why Version 17.1R1.8?

Before you trigger that download, ensure your host machine is ready. Running a carrier-grade router in a virtual space is resource-intensive.

Use the provided scripts to generate the configuration files for the virtual machines. Launch: ./vmx.sh --bind-check ./vmx.sh --start Use code with caution.

This is common if the VCP and VFP cannot communicate over the internal bridge ( br-ext ). Check your vmx.conf and ensure the bridge is up.
