Enabling Software Features on Devices Using a Command
Option
This capability to activate software applications or components on a device using a command is
supported on the S4810, S4820T, and S6000, platforms.
Starting with Release 9.4(0.0), you can enable or disable specific software functionalities or applications
that need to run on a device by using a command attribute in the CLI interface. This capability enables
effective, 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-off of a software component
or protocol. A feature configuration file that is generated for each image contains feature names denotes
whether this enabling or disabling method is available for such features. In 9.4(0.0), you can enable or
disable the VRF application globally across the system by using this capability.
You can activate 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 configure its
related attributes.
Dell(conf)# feature vrf
Based on whether VRF feature is identified as supported in the Feature Configuration file, configuration
command feature vrf becomes available for usage. This command will be stored in running-configuration
and will precede all other VRF-related configurations.
NOTE: The MXL and Z9000 platforms currently do not support VRF. These platforms support only
the management and default VRFs, which are available by default. As a result, the feature vrf
command is not available for these platforms.
To display the state of Dell Networking OS features:
Dell#show feature
Example of show feature output
For a particular target where VRF is enabled, the show output is similar to the following:
