Nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 Hot! (2026)

The first boot can take 8–12 minutes. Wait for the prompt: NexonOS Kernel starting... then switch(boot)# . Be patient; the CPU fans (fake) will ramp up.

The Nexus 9300v functions with a highly optimized Cisco software data plane that manages packet forwarding over simulated interfaces. When deploying nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 , your underlying hypervisor host must meet the following baseline requirements: Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Release Notes, Release 9.3(9)

The nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2 image has a broad range of practical applications. nexus9300v.9.3.9.qcow2

Support for Segment Routing over MPLS (SR-MPLS) and Segment Routing v6 (SRv6) architecture validation.

: This indicates the virtual platform is modeled after the Cisco Nexus 9300v , a member of the Nexus 9000v family of virtual switches. The Nexus 9300v represents a virtual non-modular switch including a single line card with 64 virtual interfaces. The Nexus 9000v family also includes the Nexus 9500v , which represents a virtual modular switch capable of supporting up to 16 line cards with 400 virtual interfaces. The first boot can take 8–12 minutes

EVE-NG requires the primary hard disk file of a QEMU node to be explicitly named virtioa.qcow2 for correct driver mapping and performance optimization. Rename the uploaded file using the following command:

For developers who prefer to manage infrastructure as code, Vagrant is an excellent option. The netlab project, for example, can use the qcow2 file to build a Vagrant Libvirt box. The process is as simple as creating an empty directory, placing the qcow2 file inside, and running a command to build the box. However, you should be aware of a known caveat where multiple Nexus 9300v devices created from the same Vagrant box may have duplicate serial numbers, potentially causing DHCP conflicts. The workaround is to set the libvirt batch_size to 1, starting the devices sequentially.
