Explains how hardware-module status identifies configured CEF profiles, whether each profile is applied, and whether a reload or commit action remains pending.

CEF hardware-module status is operational information that

  • reports whether the router applied each profile, and

  • identifies any reload or commit action needed to apply a profile.
