The 17.10.1 release of IOS XE introduced several enhancements for campus and branch networking:

The Cat9kv is a "heavy" virtual node and requires significant system resources to operate correctly:

: It supports standard switching features out of the box, with advanced features like BGP and EVPN available after enabling specific license levels (e.g., Network Advantage). Resource Requirements Cat9kv-prd-17.10.01prd7.qcow2 Download

: Added support for IPv6 underlay and dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) overlays, facilitating easier migration to IPv6-only environments.

: At least 2 to 4 vCPUs are needed to ensure reasonable boot times and data plane throughput. The 17

The file is the virtual disk image for the Cisco Catalyst 9000V (Cat9kv) switch, running IOS XE version 17.10.1 . This virtual appliance is designed for network engineers to simulate the performance and features of physical Catalyst 9000 series hardware in virtualized environments like GNS3 , EVE-NG , and Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) . Key Features of Catalyst 9000V (17.10.1)

: Unlike older virtual switches, the Cat9kv performs high-fidelity simulation of physical UADP (Unified Access Data-Plane) and Silicon One Q200 ASICs, ensuring virtual behavior matches physical hardware. The file is the virtual disk image for

: Minimum 16GB to 24GB is recommended for stable performance.
