Nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 ★ Ultimate & Proven
The nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 file runs Cisco NX-OS Software Release 9.3(9). This virtual appliance shares the same control plane software footprint as its physical hardware counterpart.
Complete implementations of BGP (including MP-BGP for EVPN), OSPFv2/v3, EIGRP, and RIP.
The 9.3.9 version of this image is particularly stable and well-documented, making it a popular choice for building large-scale topologies. nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2
Once uploaded, EVE-NG requires the primary virtual hard disk to be named exactly virtioa.qcow2 . Rename the file via SSH:

I staged a topology around it. Other images — routers, firewalls, little bastions of Linux — were summoned and interconnected with patch cables made of configuration. BGP peered with a polite hunger, OSPF whispered adjacency, and loops were avoided like social faux pas. The nexus file did what it was designed to do: it switched, routed, mirrored traffic, responded to SNMP queries with resigned efficiency, and reflected my changes back like a patient tutor. In simulated storms I watched counters climb and CPU graphs spike, then settle. In quiet times it hummed with economy, doing a thousand small things perfectly until nothing seemed remarkable at all.
Operating a virtualized Nexus switch can occasionally present hypervisor-specific bugs or resource constraints. 1. The Switch is Stuck in a Boot Loop Insufficient RAM allocation.
It simulates a single-supervisor non-modular chassis with one co-located virtual line card supporting 64 virtual interfaces Resource Footprint: Requires a minimum of for a basic boot, though 6.0 GB to 8.0 GB is recommended for stable feature performance. Operates with a minimum of
