l
If an equal-cost route is not generated, modify the related routing configuration:
–
Modify route attributes, such as the cost.
–
Configure static routes as shown in the preceding command output.
NOTE
The preceding example describes how to load balance traffic destined for the same destination
address. If multiple flows are destined for different destination addresses and these flows need to be
sent from the primary and backup interfaces, the flows can be load balanced among these interfaces
even if no equal-cost route is available.
The following conditions must be met to implement load balancing:
l
When multiple interfaces among the primary and backup interfaces are working, these interfaces
have the routes destined for these destination addresses.
l
To maintain stable load balancing, ensure that the traffic volume of the primary interface is greater
than the lower threshold. Otherwise, backup interfaces will be disabled.
l
If equal-cost routes are generated, go to step 5.
Step 5
Check whether multiple flows are transmitted over the links.
After equal-cost routes are generated, the device selects a route to forward packets according to
the hash algorithm. If only one flow needs to be transmitted, it cannot be load balanced among
multiple links. The device load balances traffic among multiple links only when multiple flows
need to be transmitted. Check whether multiple flows are transmitted over the links.
l
If only one flow is sent from the primary interface, use the active/standby mode for interface
backup.
l
If multiple flows are transmitted over links, but the fault persists, go to step 6.
Step 6
Collect the following information and contact Huawei technical support personnel.
