   By default, OpenDaylight has no pre-installed features.

-* After installing OpenDaylight, you install your selected features using the
-  Karaf console to expand networking capabilities. In the Karaf feature list
-  below are the ones you’re most likely to use when creating your network
-  environment.

 
 

-  As a short example of installing a Karaf feature, OpenDaylight Beryllium
-  offers Application Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO). The Karaf feature to
-  install ALTO is odl-alto-all. On the Karaf console, the command to install it
-  is:
-
-  feature:install odl-alto-all
-
-* **DLUX** is a web-based interface that OpenDaylight provides for you to manage
-  your network. Its Karaf feature installation name is “odl-dlux-core”.
-
-  a. DLUX draws information from OpenDaylight’s topology and host databases to
-     display the following information:
-
-     i. The network
-     #. Flow statistics
-     #. Host locations
-
-  #. To enable the DLUX UI after installing OpenDaylight, run:
-
-     feature:install odl-dlux-core
-
-     on the Karaf console.
-
-* **Network embedded Experience (NeXt)** is a developer toolkit that provides
-  tools to draw network-centric topology UI elements that offer visualizations
-  of the following:
-
-  a. Large complex network topologies
-  #. Aggregated network nodes
-  #. Traffic/path/tunnel/group visualizations
-  #. Different layout algorithms
-  #. Map overlays
-  #. Preset user-friendly interactions
-
-  NeXt can work with DLUX to build OpenDaylight applications. Check out the
-  NeXt_demo_ for more information on the interface.
+  Features and feature repositories can be managed in the Karaf configuration
+  file  ``etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg`` using the ``featuresRepositories``
+  and ``featuresBoot`` variables.
