load-balance enable
Use this command to enable load-balancing configurations in hardware.
Use the no option to reset the load balancing to default settings.
Note: When the command "load-balance enable" is issued, the default load-balance settings are unset. User then has to configure the new load-balancing parameters.
Command Syntax
This form unsets load balancing globally:
load-balance enable
This form resets load balancing globally to default settings:
no load-balance enable
By default, load balancing is enabled for ECMP and LAG.
This form sets hashing based on IPv4 fields:
load-balance (ipv4 {src-ipv4 | dest-ipv4 | srcl4-port | destl4-port | protocol-id})
no load-balance (ipv4 {src-ipv4 | dest-ipv4 | srcl4-port | destl4-port | protocol-id})
This form sets hashing based on IPv6 fields:
load-balance (ipv6 {src-ipv6 | dest-ipv6 | srcl4-port | destl4-port | protocol-id})
no load-balance (ipv6 {src-ipv6 | dest-ipv6 | srcl4-port | destl4-port | protocol-id})
This form sets hashing based on L2 fields:
load-balance (l2 {dest-mac|src-mac|ether-type|vlan})
no load-balance (l2 {dest-mac|src-mac|ether-type|vlan})
This form sets hashing on an MPLS fields:
load-balance (mpls {labels})
no load-balance (mpls {labels})
Note: The configured load balancing parameters are global and will be applicable to all LAG & ECMP created in the hardware.
