Unlike the commercial XRv, this demo image has reduced forwarding performance. Do not use for throughput testing >100 Mbps.
To run this image smoothly, your virtualization platform must meet certain specifications:
: Combines Route-Processor (RP) and Line-Card (LC) functionality into a single image.
Later versions (7.x) require massive RAM (16-32GB per node) and multiple vCPUs. Version 6.1.3 can operate with 4GB-6GB of RAM and 2 vCPUs, making it ideal for modest EVE-NG or GNS3 setups.
The digital shadows of the lab grew long as typed the final command. For weeks, he had been chasing a phantom—a routing loop in a virtual environment that defied every logic gate he knew. His screen flickered, casting a cool blue glow over his desk, where a single file sat centered in his workspace: iosxrv-k9-demo-6.1.3.qcow2 .
