In the vMX architecture, installation is slightly different from physical hardware. The jinstall package is usually used to upgrade or install the OS onto the VCP (Virtual Control Plane) VM. vmx.jinstall.vmx.14.1r1.10.domestic 1
This file is a Junos OS installation package specifically designed for the virtualized routing platform, the vMX. Unlike physical MX Series routers (like the MX240 or MX960) which use specific hardware-specific images, the vMX runs as a virtual machine on x86 servers. Use the provided vmx-vm-control
The extension .domestic typically indicates that this is the standard encrypted version of Junos OS, intended for use in the United States and other locations where export controls on strong cryptography are not a restriction.
