At present, when configuring IRF port load sharing mode in system view, you can specify: any of
the source IP address, destination IP address, source MAC address or destination MAC address
separately as the hash key; the combination of the source and the destination IP addresses as
the hash key; the combination of the source and the destination MAC addresses as the hash
key.
Examples
# Configure the global IRF port load sharing mode, using the destination MAC address of packets as
the hash key.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf-port load-sharing mode destination-mac
irf-port load-sharing mode (IRF port view)
Syntax
irf-port load-sharing mode { destination-ip | destination-mac | source-ip | source-mac } *
undo irf-port load-sharing mode
View
IRF port view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
destination-ip: Uses the destination IP address as the hash key.
destination-mac: Uses the destination MAC address as the hash key.
source-ip: Uses the source IP address as the hash key.
source-mac: Uses the source MAC address as the hash key.
Description
Use the irf-port load-sharing mode command to configure the load sharing mode for an IRF port.
Use the undo irf-port load-sharing mode command to restore the default.
By default,
The S5800-56C and S5800-56C-PWR switches use the inbound port number as the hash key.
Other models of the S5800 series and S5820X series switches use the combination of the
source and destination MAC addresses as the hash key when processing Layer 2 packets, and
use the combination of the source and destination IP addresses when processing Layer 3
packets.
After you specify a load sharing mode, the switch extracts the corresponding field (IP address or
MAC address) in a packet or the inbound port number based on the selected mode, and performs the
hash function on the address or port number and the number of physical IRF ports in an aggregate
IRF port, and then determines which physical IRF port sends out the packet.
