Nxosv9k-7.0.3.i7.4.qcow2 ((install))

Because this is a specialized image, problems arise frequently.

The NXOSv9K-7.0.3.I7.4.qcow2 inherits the robust feature set of the physical Nexus 9000 switches, offering several key benefits:

On the initial boot, the switch will prompt for basic setup. For a standard lab setup: nxosv9k-7.0.3.i7.4.qcow2
