Troubleshooting Commands
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide

In the previously described situations, you can configure a different hash algorithm to select a different
section of the hardware to store addresses. You must save your configuration and reboot the switch to
modify the hash algorithm used by the hardware table.
Upgrading to ExtremeWare XOS 11.5.
When you upgrade to ExtremeWare XOS 11.5, the hash algorithm
automatically becomes crc32. For example, if you saved a configuration using an image from
ExtremeWare XOS 11.4 or earlier with the hash algorithm set to crc16, when ExtremeWare XOS 11.5
loads, the hash algorithm becomes crc32. To change the hash algorithm to crc16, use the
configure
forwarding hash-algorithm
crc16
and save your switch configuration.
Example
The following command modifies the hardware table hash algorithm to crc16:
configure forwarding hash-algorithm crc16
The switch displays the following message to prompt you to save your configuration and reboot the
switch:
Warning: This command will only take effect after a save and reboot
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.3.2.
The default hash algorithm was changed to crc32 in ExtremeWare XOS 11.5.
Platform Availability
This command is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit X450 family of
switches.
