Today, we are taking a close look at a specific image file that often circulates in lab setups: . Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2
RAM
To run this image in a simulation environment like GNS3 , the following resources are generally required: : At least 2048 MB . The Digital Twin: Deconstructing Timos-sr-13
Issue 1: "Image format is not bootable"
Key Takeaway
: This image is a production-grade virtual router disk, not a demo or simulator. Licensing: This is a VM image intended for lab use
- Licensing: This is a VM image intended for lab use. It typically comes with a default "trial" license or no license restrictions for basic routing. However, advanced features (like specific line card emulation or high-throughput scaling) might be limited compared to a physical box.
- Resources: Nokia SR VMs are heavy. Do not try to run 10 of these on a laptop with 8GB of RAM. One node requires a dedicated core and substantial RAM.
- BoF (Boot Options File): If you make changes to the configuration and they don't save, check your
bofconfiguration. Ensure the primary image and configuration file paths are set correctly so the router remembers your settings after a reboot.
- Segment Routing (MPLS and IPv6 data planes).
- VPRN (Virtual Private Routed Network) and VPLS services.
- Enhanced Link Aggregation.
