Link the iosxrv-k9-demo-6.1.3.qcow2 file when prompted for the missing storage file.
The documentation explicitly states that one of the anti-security features for a demo-locked image is the use of hard-coded credentials. This is why it is crucial to follow security best practices when using these demo files.
Create a new directory under the Cisco IOS XRv template path. The directory name must begin with the prefix xr9k- : mkdir -p /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/xr9k-6.1.3-demo/ Use code with caution. Step 4.2: Uploading and Renaming the Virtual Disk iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 exclusive

The long filename contains several important details about its capabilities and limitations: Link the iosxrv-k9-demo-6
The (often named iosxrv-k9-demo-6.1.3.qcow2 ) has established itself as an exclusive, highly sought-after image among network professionals, particularly for users of EVE-NG or GNS3, due to its stability in 64-bit emulation.
: Upload the .qcow2 file and rename it to the format required by your hypervisor (often virtioa.qcow2 ). Create a new directory under the Cisco IOS XRv template path
The image is a powerful, specialized asset designed for network professionals who require a virtual carrier-grade router. While the "exclusive" nature of the file means it is not available through a simple, open Google search, it is accessible to those with a Cisco subscription, a CML license, or membership in a partner program.
