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 specific software features or applications that need
to run on a device by using a command attribute in the CLI interface. This 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 a software component or protocol. A feature
configuration file 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.
