Iosxrv-k9-demo-5.2.2.ova ((better)) -

As mentioned, the k9 suffix indicates the presence of cryptographic features. For the iosxrv-k9-demo image, this means:

IOS XR utilizes a two-stage configuration process. When you enter a command, it goes into a target configuration buffer. You must type commit to apply the changes to the running system.

If you are having issues running this version, let me know which emulator (GNS3, EVE-NG, VMware) you are using. I can provide the specific console commands needed to fix common boot errors. IOSXRv 5.2.2 is out - Community | GNS3

Troubleshooting tips

Uses Qemu/KVM as the underlying hypervisor. The OVA can be extracted using tools like 7-Zip to access the .vmdk file, which is then converted to .qcow2 if necessary.

Enable Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and check the Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB).

Do not confuse this with a full IOS XRv image. The demo version has important constraints:
