7. Running the Image

Example with GNS3 / IOU

Place the .bin file in the IOU directory.
Create an IOU device in GNS3.
Assign this image and provide an iourc license file.
Configure interfaces as Ethernet ports (switchports).

Cisco vIOS L2 (newer, based on IOS-XE, uses .vmdk or .qcow2 images)
Cisco CML (formerly VIRL) 2.0+ with native containerized nodes
Open vSwitch (OVS) for pure open-source L2 learning

i86bi: Indicates that the image is built for the i386 (x86) architecture on a Linux platform. linux: Confirms the host operating system requirement.
