Configuring IPv6 bandwidth-based load sharing

About IPv6 bandwidth-based load sharing

This feature shares IPv6 traffic among multiple output interfaces based on their expected load percentages. The device calculates the load percentage for each output interface in terms of the interface expected bandwidth.

For devices that run load sharing protocols such as Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), they implement load sharing based on the ratios defined by these protocols.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

  2. Enable IPv6 bandwidth-based load sharing.

    ipv6 bandwidth-based-sharing

    By default, IPv6 bandwidth-based load sharing is disabled.

  3. Enter interface view.

  4. Set the expected bandwidth of an interface.

    bandwidth bandwidth

    By default, the expected bandwidth of an interface equals the absolute bandwidth of the link.
