Feature Set

Feature-set configuration installs and enables NX-OS feature-sets that extend device capabilities beyond the base software image. Each feature-set maps to the CLI install feature-set <name> and feature-set <name> commands. Available feature-sets include FEX (Fabric Extender), MPLS, and virtualization. Feature-sets must be installed and enabled before their associated functionality can be configured.
