Virtual Internet Exchange

The Virt-IX remote labs feature SRX210H routers, EX2200 and EX4200 switches, as well as CPE virtual machines with their own public IP space.

Route and secure your virtual CPEs and check the outcome using VNC.

8 SRX-210H routers
1 EX-2200-C switch
A full BGP4 internet table
4 Virtual Machine CPEs with a public /30
Console and SSH access to all nodes
Remote PSU access for all nodes
Multiple user accounts
Fully automated booking system
Fully automated session management
Optional N2X router-tester access

Each SRX device is connected (dual-homed) to an EX-4200 Virtual Chassis. They are also connected to each other's neighbor, for example R3 connects to R2 and R4 directly). The first four SRX devices have two links connected to the EX-2200-C switch.

Route and secure your virtual CPEs, and verify the outcome using VNC.

By using flexible vlan IDs, each device can connect to another. Labs can be used interchangeable and can be connected to each other as well. For example, to connect L1-R1 to L2-R5, simply use vlan-id 125 or 225.

Custom topologies are available upon request. The lab is physically housed at Hurricane Electric in Fremont, CA.

From engineers, for engineers.

The JNCIE lab exams are challenging and expensive enough by themselves. The Virt-IX labs are designed to be cost-efficient and help you achieve your goals without too much additional cost.

We do not sell expensive work-books that you may not need in combination with lab-access. If lab-time is all you need, lab-time will be all you pay for. We do assume a certain level of self-proficiency. You are expected to have a basic understanding of JUNOS, Juniper equipment in general, Linux, and most internet-related protocols.

Lab-time is sold in blocks of 2 hours.
(the last 10 minutes of your 2, 4 or 8 hour booking will be used for automated cleanup)

Each 2-hour booking will cost $ 8,-. That is less than 45 cents per device per hour.
Each 4-hour booking will cost $ 15,-. That is less than 42 cents per device per hour.
Each 8-hour booking will cost $ 25,-. That is less than 35 cents per device per hour.

What happened to the Tunnel Community?

The original Virtual Internet Exchange tunnels are still very much alive. However, the project is currently not accepting new members due to security concerns that have risen.

Unfortunately we were faced with a number of malicious members who used their public IP space for bad behavior. These users have since been terminated, but the project administration is looking for ways to allow new members to join while preserving the integrity of the project.

This situation is expected to be fixed sometime in Q1 of 2015.
