In the evolving landscape of network engineering, the ability to test, validate, and learn without physical hardware is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Cisco’s Nexus 9000v (often abbreviated as N9Kv) is a virtualized version of the powerful Nexus 9300 hardware switch. The specific file, , represents a critical milestone in the NX-OS software timeline.
The 9000v image simulates the Control Plane of NX-OS. It allows users to run: BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP routing protocols. VXLAN EVPN (Data Center Interconnect). vPC (Virtual Port Channel). Cisco’s official premier network simulation platform
For those using or Proxmox , this qcow2 image is the standard format for adding a new node. The exact process for integrating it into EVE-NG will be covered later in the deployment section.

The 9.3.x release train introduced significant enhancements, transforming the virtual Nexus platform into a family with two distinct virtual switches: the (modelled on fixed-configuration switches) and the Nexus 9500v (modelled on modular chassis switches).
EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment Next Generation) is a premier platform for hosting virtual network nodes. Follow these steps to manually add and configure the Nexus 9300v 9.3.9 image. Step 1: Create the Image Directory
