hash-algorithm ecmp
c s
Change the hash algorithm used to distribute traffic flows across an ECMP (equal-cost multipath
routing) group.
Syntax hash-algorithm ecmp
{
crc-upper
} | {
dest-ip
} | {
lsb
}
To return to the default hash algorithm, use the
no hash-algorithm ecmp
command.
Parameters
Defaults crc-lower, dest-ip enabled

Information
The hash value calculated with the hash-algorithm command is unique to the entire chassis. The
default ECMP hash configuration is
crc-lower
. This takes the lower 32 bits of the hash key to compute
the egress port and is the “fall-back” configuration if the user hasn’t configured anything else.
The different hash algorithms are based on the number of ECMP group members and packet values.
The default hash algorithm yields the most balanced results in various test scenarios, but if the default
algorithm does not provide satisfactory distribution of traffic, then use this command to designate
another algorithm.
When a member leaves or is added to the ECMP group, the hash algorithm is recalculated to balance
traffic across the members.
