Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Whether a device supports a function depends on whether the hardware has the capability of the function and whether the running system software provides this function. You can use this command to check the hardware and software support for a function and determine whether you need to update the system software or use other methods to obtain the function.

Precautions

Currently, this command can only display the hardware and software support for the MPLS feature.
