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 the 8.4.7.0
release, 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.
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.
To display the state of Dell Networking OS features:
Dell#show feature

For a particular target where VRF is enabled, the show output is similar to the following:
