Iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 Exclusive ^new^
Link-state routing protocols operate with full area and adjacency configurations.
Despite its "demo" designation, this exclusive 6.1.3 image supports an expansive array of carrier-grade protocol suites. It allows engineers to confidently lab out advanced network architectures, including:
QCOW2 (QEMU Copy-On-Write), optimized for virtualization platforms like QEMU/KVM. File Size: Approximately 429 MB. Image Type: iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 exclusive
A common mistake is overprovisioning resources on the hypervisor. One user reported that while the FAQ lists resource requirements for the IOS-XRv 9000 as 4 cores and 20GB per node, attempting to allocate less than that (e.g., 6 cores and 32GB for two nodes) caused the console to freeze. Correcting the resource allocation to meet the minimum requirements resolved the issue.
