Xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2 — Download

Fix: Disable logging synchronous. Also, allocate SSD storage to the VM. XRv9k is heavily I/O dependent during boot.

Symptom: You expect 32 interfaces but only see 4. Fix: In the 7.2.2 release, the default platform is xrv9k-mini. You must change the platform to xrv9k-full via the VM's configuration file. In EVE-NG, add a custom QEMU option: -machine type=pc,accel=kvm

The Cisco XRv 9000 is a virtualized router designed to run the same Cisco IOS XR operating system as the physical ASR 9000 series routers. It allows network engineers to test, develop, and validate carrier-grade features in virtual environments (e.g., VMware ESXi, KVM) without dedicated hardware. Xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2 Download

The specific image referenced, xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2, corresponds to IOS XR version 7.2.2 with the FullK9 feature set.

This version introduces stable model-driven telemetry using gRPC dial-out, perfect for integrating with tools like Telegraf or Prometheus in a CI/CD lab. Fix: Disable logging synchronous

Older versions (6.x) had buggy SR implementations. Version 7.2.2 brings stable TI-LFA (Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate) and SR-PCE (Path Computation Element). You can build a full MPLS-free core using SR policies.

A: Yes. Convert the ISO to a VMDK and create an ESXi VM with E1000e interfaces. Note: Performance will be lower than KVM due to virtio vs. e1000. Cisco IOS XR images are copyrighted
