Cisco Express Forwarding Command Changes

Last Updated: October 28, 2011

This feature module details changes to commands that are required to support updates to Cisco Express Forwarding.

In Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(25)S, 12.2(28)SB, 12.2(33)SRA, 12.2(33)SXH, and 12.4(20)T, Cisco Express Forwarding has been updated to support new features and new hardware. These updates enable Cisco Express Forwarding to operate with the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) High Availability (HA) applications and the MPLS Forwarding Infrastructure (MFI).

Cisco Express Forwarding provides a forwarding path and maintains a complete forwarding and adjacency table for both the software and hardware forwarding engines.
