The 9.3.9 image is built for the KVM and QEMU hypervisor ecosystem.
, a virtualized platform designed to simulate the behavior of physical Nexus 9300 series switches running NX-OS . Version 9.3.9 is a specific release within the 9.3(x) train, typically used for network simulation, protocol testing, and automation development in environments like GNS3, EVE-NG, or Cisco Modeling Labs (CML). Key Features and Specifications
: Network traffic across the interfaces is managed by an optimized Cisco software data plane instead of dedicated ASICs. nexus9300v939qcow2 new
: QCOW2 is the default storage format for QEMU/KVM hypervisors. It uses thin provisioning (copy-on-write), meaning the physical file only takes up space on your host machine as data is written to the virtual switch's bootflash. Resource and System Requirements
The following sections outline the primary methods for deploying your nexus9300v939qcow2 image on a KVM/QEMU environment. Key Features and Specifications : Network traffic across
💡 Some EVE-NG builds require setting to 2 cores, RAM to 8192 MB or higher.
The "new" label typically means the embedded Linux kernel (the foundation of NX-OS) has been updated to mitigate Spectre/Meltdown variants and improve SSH security (deprecating SSHv1, enforcing stronger ciphers). enforcing stronger ciphers).
To use the nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 image in a virtual environment like EVE-NG or GNS3, follow these general steps:
