Enabling Software Features on Devices Using a

Command Option

The capability to activate software applications or components on a device using a command is supported on this platform.

Starting with Release 9.4(0.0), you can enable or disable specic software features or applications that need to run on a device by using a

command attribute in the CLI interface. This enables eective, streamlined management and administration of applications and utilities that

run on a device. You can employ this capability to perform an on-demand activation, or turn-o a software component or protocol. A

feature conguration le generated for each image contains feature names, and denotes if this enabling or disabling method is available. You

can enable or disable the VRF application globally across the system by using this capability.

Activate the VRF application on a device by using the feature vrf command in CONFIGURATION mode.

NOTE

: The no feature vrf command is not supported on any of the platforms.

To enable the VRF feature and cause all VRF-related commands to be available or viewable in the CLI interface, use the following

command. You must enable the VRF feature before you can congure its related attributes.

Dell(conf)# feature vrf

Based on if the VRF feature is identied as supported in the Feature Conguration le, conguration command feature vrf becomes

available for usage. This command is stored in the running-conguration and precedes all other VRF-related congurations.

To display the state of Dell Networking OS features:
