Running such an image requires a compatible environment. This includes a host system with sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, disk space) and a hypervisor that can handle QEMU images. The virtual disk image is a pre-built virtual

The "Demo" moniker meant it had limitations—usually performance throttling or a lack of certain high-end features. But for the vast majority of learners, it didn't matter. It had the CLI, it had the routing tables, and it behaved like the real thing. This includes a host system with sufficient resources
