Optimizing Hunt Group Throughput
To optimize hunt group throughput follow these considerations.
■Forwarding Engines in the hunt group ports should be separate from
the ports involved in the modules traffic flows.
■The greater the number of non-member Forwarding Engines in the
system, the greater the ability of th e system to load-share.
■Distribute the hunt group across more than one Fabric Port per slot.
■Distribute the hunt group across media modules.
