DHCP Rogue Server Protection and ARP inspection within VXLAN environments. Lab Implementation (EVE-NG/GNS3)
In enterprise private clouds running Ubuntu KVM or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) KVM, this image acts as a high-throughput virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) or a virtual route reflector. Network Emulation Labs (Eve-NG, GNS3, Cisco CML)
If you are studying for the CCNP or CCIE Enterprise , this image is non-negotiable. It provides the closest possible experience to touching a physical $10,000 switch without the noise of fans or the power bill. Just make sure your host machine has the memory to handle it. Catalyst 9000v - - EVE-NG cat9kv-prd-17.12.01prd9.qcow2
changed this dynamic by virtualising Cisco's flagship enterprise switching platform.
The file includes the virtualized forwarding engine. In a physical Catalyst 9300, this is an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). In the cat9kv , this is a software module that creates the dp-core to process packets in the CPU. This is why the host CPU resources matter for throughput on this image.

| Role | How They Use cat9kv-prd-17.12.01prd9.qcow2 | | :--- | :--- | | | Build a collapsed core/distribution/access layer with 5-10 virtual switches to test advanced routing (OSPF, BGP, IS-IS) and deterministic failover. | | Network Automation Developers | Validate Python scripts using NETCONF. The prd9 build behaves identically to physical Cat9300s for configuration changes. | | Pre-Sales Solution Architects | Create a proof-of-concept for a new SD-Access deployment, showcasing micro-segmentation to a client without shipping demo switches. | | Software Test Engineers | Run negative test cases (link flaps, process restarts, watchdog reboots) to validate HA behavior. |
: After initial configuration, apply this recommended setting to reduce boot time:
