Term heading Description heading
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, 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.
hash-algorithm seed
Select the seed value for the ECMP, LAG, and NH hashing algorithm.
