LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Active
Select this option to enable Equal-Cost MultiPath (ECMP) routing on the Switch.
Criteria
Select the criteria the Switch uses to determine the routing path for a packet.
Select src-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a packet's source IP
address into a hash value which acts as an index to a route path.
Select src-dst-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a packet's source and
destination IP addresses into a hash value which acts as an index to a route path.
Aging Time
Specify the time interval (from 0 to 86400 in increments of 10) in seconds at which the
Switch sends an ARP request to update a resolved next-hop's MAC address.
Discover Time
Specify the time interval (from 0 to 86400 in increments of 10) in seconds at which the
Switch sends an ARP request to update an unresolved next-hop's MAC address.
Maximum Paths
Set the maximum number of paths for one ECMP (Equal-Cost MultiPath) route. The
maximum number varies by Switch. A smaller number of maximum-paths means more
ECMP routes are allowed and a larger number of maximum-paths means fewer ECMP routes
are allowed.
The number of paths for a static route for ECMP cannot be bigger than the maximum-paths
value configured here.
Throughput may be influenced while configuring ECMP maximum-paths.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
