load-balance

By default, for C-Series and S-Series, Dell Networking OS uses an IP 4-tuple (IP SA, IP DA, Source Port, and Destination Port) to distribute IP traffic over members of a Port Channel as well as equal-cost paths. To designate another method to balance traffic over Port Channel members, use the load-balancecommand.

S6000

Syntaxload-balance {ip-selection [dest-ip source-ip]} {mac [dest- mac source-dest-mac source-mac]} {tcp-udp ingress-port [enable]}

To return to the default setting (IP 4-tuple), use the no load-balance {ip- selection [dest-ip source-ip]} {mac [dest-mac source- dest-mac source-mac]} {tcp-udp ingress-port [enable]}command.

Parameters

ip-selection {dest-ip source-ip}

mac {dest-mac source-dest- mac source- mac}

Enter the keywords to distribute IP traffic based on the following criteria:

•dest-ip— Uses destination IP address and destination port fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3- bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.

•source-ip— Uses source IP address and source port fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.

Enter the keywords to distribute MAC traffic based on the following criteria:

•dest-mac— Uses the destination MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.

•source-dest-mac— Uses the destination and source MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.
