Xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2 [work] Page

Deploying the XRv9k-fullk9-7.2.2 image in EVE-NG involves creating a QEMU directory, uploading the image, and renaming the main image file. Here are the steps based on EVE-NG documentation:

Below is a comprehensive guide on how to deploy and configure this specific image.

Release 7.2.2 belongs to the 7.x train of IOS XR, which represents a massive architectural shift known as . Unlike legacy 32-bit XR, this version runs on top of a modern, 64-bit Linux kernel.

Build the Docker container image with the following command: Xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2

The Xrv9k-fullk9-7.2.2 image is packaged in various formats (such as .qcow2 , .ova , and .iso ) to run across diverse environments:

The image remains a vital software footprint for service provider and enterprise core network engineering teams. It bridges the gap between hardware-bound operating systems and modern cloud-native virtualization, enabling robust automated workflows, flexible design verification, and cost-effective control plane scaling.
