Nokia's routing portfolio runs on a proprietary operating system traditionally known as (Time-driven Management Operating System), now widely referred to as SR-OS .
Running Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2 requires proper resource allocation. Below are the typical minimum and recommended specs for this specific version.
Multipoint-to-multipoint Layer 2 VPNs, including advanced split-horizon groups and MAC learning controls.
: 13.0.r4 denotes major release 13, minor revision 0, maintenance release 4. While newer versions of SR-OS exist today, version 13 remains a foundational platform used in many legacy corporate environments, training programs, and certification tracks like the Nokia SRC (Service Routing Certification). Architectural Use Cases Timos-sr-13.0.r4-vm.qcow2
Network DevOps teams embed qm create commands for this qcow2 image into their CI pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI). They spin up transient virtual routers, push configuration via NETCONF/RESTCONF, validate changes, and tear them down.
A popular choice for drag-and-drop network topology building. You can import the image as a QEMU VM.
If the VM appears to be "stuck" or hangs during boot, ensure that the KVM acceleration is correctly enabled ( kvm-ok command). Additionally, confirm that the QEMU machine type ( -machine pc ) matches the hardware expectations of the TiMOS kernel. Nokia's routing portfolio runs on a proprietary operating
Running the TiMOS virtual image requires specific hardware acceleration settings to ensure the router boots correctly:
Security and licensing
: Denotes the specific software package: Major Release 13, Minor Revision 0, Maintenance Release 4 . Architectural Use Cases Network DevOps teams embed qm
Without a valid license, the SROS VM will typically boot but may restrict the number of active interfaces or reboot after a specific grace period (often 1-2 hours in "demo" mode). Why Version 13.0.r4?
This corrects file permissions for the EVE-NG environment.
: Advanced traffic shaping, queuing, and classification policies (simulated via software).
