Parameters

destination-ip: Distributes traffic across IRF member links based on destination IP address.

destination-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on destination MAC address.

source-ip: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source IP address.

source-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source MAC address.

Usage guidelines

The global IRF link load sharing mode applies to all IRF ports in the IRF fabric. You can configure the sharing mode to include a combination of multiple criteria for making traffic distribution decisions. (For example, criteria could include source MAC address and IP address.) If your device does not support a criterion combination, the system displays an error message.

If you configure the global load sharing mode multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You can also configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port in IRF port view.

An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode is available, the port uses the global load sharing mode.

Examples

# Configure the global IRF link load sharing mode to distribute traffic based on destination MAC address.
