5. Verifying the repacked image

Boot the new image in QEMU/KVM (no Cisco VIRL/ESXi needed): bypassing initial setup dialogs

Shortcut today = Breach tomorrow. Avoid repacked software entirely.

REPACK: This usually indicates that the original Cisco image has been modified. Common modifications include pre-configuring the serial console, bypassing initial setup dialogs, or optimizing the file size for faster deployment in lab environments. Key Features of Version 16.12.1b
