If you are using GNS3, the installation involves creating a new QEMU template. Locate the sros-vm.qcow2 file. GNS3 -> Preferences -> QEMU VMs: Click "New". Configure Name: Name it "TiMOS 12.0 R6". Configure QEMU Binary: Choose qemu-system-i386 . RAM/CPU: Set RAM to 1920MB or 2048MB. Disk Image: Point to the sros-vm.qcow2 file you extracted.
Move the .qcow2 file to the appropriate folder in your emulator (e.g., /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ for EVE-NG). Configure VM: Set vCPU to 1 or 2. Assign at least 6 network adapters (Type: e1000). Timos-sr-12.0.r6-vm.zip Download
