This file essentially turns a Linux-based virtual machine into a fully functional Viptela vEdge Cloud router, capable of establishing secure tunnels (DTLS/TLS), performing application-aware routing, and enforcing end-to-end segmentation.
The .qcow2 format is specifically optimized for and is widely used in network simulation environments like EVE-NG or GNS3. viptela-edge-19.2.3-genericx86-64.qcow2 download
