The iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 file is a virtual machine image designed to run within hypervisors like QEMU/KVM. It specifically hosts the , version 6.1.3 .
💡 : If you are using this for study (e.g., CCNP or CCIE Service Provider), ensure your host machine has at least 32GB of RAM to run multiple instances without crashing. If you're setting this up, would you like help with: The GNS3/CML configuration steps to get it booting?
Allocate at least 3GB (3072MB) of RAM per node, as specified in the GNS3 registry, to prevent stability issues. iosxrvk9demo613qcow2 exclusive
