If you can tell me what you're trying to simulate, I might be able to help with the configuration steps.
: At least 2048 MB (2 GB) is recommended for stable performance. Network : Configure the adapter type to e1000 .
Most engineers use network emulators to build topologies. Here is how to prepare the image for EVE-NG, which is highly popular for Nokia simulations. Directory Mapping for EVE-NG

Once you have the file, the installation varies depending on your chosen network emulation platform.
series, a high-performance multiservice edge routing platform. This release, part of the TiMOS 12.0 software line, is frequently used by network engineers for lab simulations and training within virtual environments like GNS3. Technical Overview
