Iosxrvk9demo613qcow2

GNS3 provides a pre-built appliance template file ( .gns3a ) specifically written to recognize this image.

To use this image, you must integrate it into a virtualization platform. is one of the most common, as it natively supports .qcow2 files. 1. Preparation

This step is critical. EVE-NG requires the image to have a specific name, typically virtioa.qcow2 . iosxrvk9demo613qcow2

: Requires Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) enabled Console Interface : Telnet Step-by-Step Deployment Instructions

Because it runs in KVM, you can orchestrate it with libvirt , Vagrant , or Ansible . CI/CD pipelines use this image to test XR configurations before hitting production. GNS3 provides a pre-built appliance template file (

Look for words like "Evaluation license", "Demo mode", "Time remaining". A demo image may reboot after 60–180 days.

virt-install --name router1 --memory 8192 --vcpus 2 --disk router1.qcow2,bus=virtio --import --network network=default --network network=default --noautoconsole you can orchestrate it with libvirt

Compared to the full IOS XRv 9000, which requires massive RAM (often 12GB+ per node), the iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 image can run with significantly less RAM, making it feasible to build multi-node topologies on a standard workstation.
