Enabling local-first load sharing for link aggregation
Use the local-first load sharing mechanism in a multi-device link aggregation scenario to distribute traffic
preferentially across member ports on the device rather than all member ports.
When you aggregate ports on different member devices in an IRF fabric, you can use local-first load
sharing to reduce traffic on IRF links, as shown in
. For more information about IRF, see
IRF
Configuration Guide
.

The egress port for a traffic flow is an
aggregate interface that has Selected
ports on different IRF member switches
Packets are load shared only
across the Selected ports on the
ingress switch
Packets are load shared across
all Selected ports
