Download Vyatta NOS files for VMware
This section gives the steps required for choosing and downloading the files to install Vyatta NOS.
Decide whether you will use the VMware template or the ISO image file.
- The VMware template includes a version of Vyatta NOS that is optimized for virtual environments. To simplify the installation process, we provide a template for each release of Vyatta NOS with optimizations for virtual environments and VMware. If you will use this, download both the template and the disk image files.
- You can install the ISO image on any of the hypervisors that Ciena supports.
