Getting Started with Cisco Catalyst 9000v: The 17.12.01 QCOW2 Guide
cat9kv-prd-17.12.01prd9.qcow2 virtual disk image for the Cisco Catalyst 9000v (IOS-XE 17.12.01)
requires substantial system resources, often needing up to 16GB or 24GB of RAM per instance to function correctly. This resource intensity is a byproduct of running a full-featured IOS-XE image that supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, such as BGP, VXLAN, and programmable APIs.
Then create a new VM, attach the VMDK as an existing disk, and set the guest OS to “Other Linux (64-bit)”.
The cat9kv-prd-17.12.01prd9.qcow2 file is a 64-bit IOS-XE virtual disk image designed for labbing and network simulation with platforms like Cisco Modeling Labs (CML), EVE-NG, and GNS3. Obtaining this image requires a paid CML subscription or a Cisco Smartnet contract, and it demands high resource allocation, typically 4 vCPUs and 8GB-16GB of RAM, for successful operation.
