LABEL DESCRIPTION
Load Sharing
Use this section to enable and configure Load Sharing on the Switch.
Active Enable the switch button to enable Equal-Cost MultiPath (ECMP) routing on the Switch.
Criteria Select the criteria the Switch uses to determine the routing path for a packet.
Select src-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a packet’s source IP address
into a hash value which acts as an index to a route path.
Select src-dst-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a packet’s source and
destination IP addresses into a hash value which acts as an index to a route path.
Aging Time Specify the time interval (from 0 to 86400 in increments of 10) in seconds at which the Switch
sends an ARP request to update a resolved next-hop’s MAC address.
Discover Time Specify the time interval (from 0 to 86400 in increments of 10) in seconds at which the Switch
sends an ARP request to update an unresolved next-hop’s MAC address.
Maximum Paths Set the maximum number of paths for one ECMP (Equal-Cost MultiPath) route. The maximum
number varies by Switch. A smaller number of maximum-paths means more ECMP routes are
allowed and a larger number of maximum-paths means fewer ECMP routes are allowed.
The number of paths for a static route for ECMP cannot be bigger than the maximum-paths
value configured here.
Throughput may be influenced while configuring ECMP maximum-paths.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
