Step-by-Step: How to Deploy Xrv9k-fullk9-x-7.1.1.qcow2 on KVM Once you have the legitimate file, follow this guide to get the router booting. Step 1: Prepare Your Linux Host Install KVM and libvirt: sudo apt update && sudo apt install qemu-kvm

virt-install \ --name XRv9k-711 \ --memory 16384 \ --vcpu 4 \ --disk path=./Xrv9k-fullk9-x-7.1.1.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio \ --disk path=./config.iso,device=cdrom \ --network network=default,model=virtio \ --network bridge=br0,model=virtio \ --network bridge=br1,model=virtio \ --os-variant generic \ --virt-type kvm \ --import \ --noautoconsole Note: Adjust --vcpus and --memory based on your hardware. Use virsh console XRv9k-711 or connect via virt-manager GUI. Initial boot takes 5–8 minutes because the router installs software packages and creates file systems.
