Virtual EXOS seems quite popular here and I wanted to let everyone know that the Virtual EXOS images for v21.1 have just been uploaded to our GitHub repository.

Hi Drew, thanks for the update. Can you tell me what the difference is between exospc-16 and vm-21?

Hi Darren, I just added a link to the release notes to my original post... should have included that in the beginning.
If you're asking specifically about the file names, it's just a naming convention change.

Hi Rich,
Sorry, I'm not aware of an EOS VM.

Hi, why no policy support also in this release? No openflow support, no ip-fix support....why you don't add these features to the VM? Are very useful these VM for learning the product and test configuration in manner that a customer may be more satisfied when a partner install then the product on a real switch...

The VM are not a product, meaning this is a best effort development. Because a VM runs, by definition, on software, we need to emulate the HW (ASIC) in software. That requires some effort, sometimes quite important, depending on the feature.

I agree it would be great to support Policy and some other features. Maybe in a future release?

Hi Stephane, I understand that and is great to have the VM..is a suggest for the next releases as support to the pre-sale phase of the partners (is not always possible to have physical HW for demo purposes). Thanks.
