Brocade Vyatta vRouter Software Installation

I used Oracle VirtualBox as VM for Brocade Vyatta vRouter Software Installation.

System requirements :
Minimum 512MB memory
Minumum 2GB disk space

Here are the settings in VirtualBox :

Click New

Click Settings -> Network

Click Storage -> Add DVD device
Select file vyatta-livecd_VSE6.6R5S1_amd64.iso
This file was downloaded from Brocade as 60-day free trial.

 Now Click Start

Default login / password is vyatta / vyatta

install system

Select destination drive

Copying system files
and then
Copying configuration file to /config/config.boot

Set the administrator password

Installing the GRUB boot loader

reboot

We need to remove the virtual DVD to avoid booting from the LiveCD ISO file.
click Settings -> Storage -> Remove disk from virtual drive (remove the ISO file)

After the login promt is back, login as vyatta again.

$ show version

$ show configuration
We can see eth0 and eth1
