Leaving aside the use case and what you would actually want/could to do with it this will not work.
vQFX is basically QFX10k and QFX10k can not be used as Sat in any Fusion deployment (it can be AD in DC flavor).

So even if Fusion would be supported and/or work on vMX (which i doubt) there would be no virtual SAT to connect.
Also of course you would need a License for the AD in Fusion PE (which uses MX as AD) in order to use it.

Even MX150 (which is vMX on NFX Appliance) is not supported as AD for fusion.

Hi,

at least for Fusion Provider Edge it will not.
vMX (and MX150) are not supported.

kind regard
Rolf

Ok thanks

...was purely a training/familiarization question as an attempt to spin-up some fusion in my eve-ng lab

I'll resort to my hardware, which is limited, but good gear... mx960, mx204, qfx5120.... of which I only have 1-each in my lab... but it's good nonetheless

Thanks

Hey Aaron,
I was thinking the same way, it would be nice to be able to lab this in a
virtual environment.
But if you think about it the fusion, it's like adding an MPC to the chassis
which in itself is I think still not supported in vMX.
So yes it would be nice to have better HW alignment with physical network
devices. (e.g. 40GE/100GE ports, etc..)
