Configuring per-flow load sharing algorithm settings for
Ethernet link aggregation
Configure the per-flow load sharing algorithm and algorithm seed to optimize traffic distribution on
aggregate links based on existing per-flow load sharing settings. You can set only the algorithm or
the algorithm seed, or both. You can combine an algorithm with different algorithm seeds to obtain
different effects.
This feature does not take effect on per-flow load sharing that uses the following traffic classification
criteria:
•
Source IP address.
•
Destination IP address.
•
Source MAC address.
•
Destination MAC address.
•
Source and destination IP addresses.
•
Source and destination MAC addresses.
To configure per-flow load sharing algorithm settings for Ethernet link aggregation:
Any Selected ports on the
ingress switch?
Local-first load sharing
mechanism enabled?
Yes
No
Yes
No
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
