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
