Changing the Hash Algorithm

The load-balance command selects the hash criteria applied to port channels.
If you do not obtain even distribution with the load-balance command, you can use the hash-algorithm
command to select the hash scheme for LAG, ECMP and NH-ECMP. You can rotate or shift the 12–bit Lag
Hash until the desired hash is achieved.
To change to another algorithm, use the second command.
• Change the default (0) to another algorithm and apply it to ECMP, LAG hashing, or a particular line card.

Example of the hash-algorithm Command
The hash-algorithm command is specific to ECMP group. The default ECMP hash configuration is crc-
lower. This command takes the lower 32 bits of the hash key to compute the egress port. Other options for
ECMP hash-algorithms are:

Bulk Configuration

Bulk configuration allows you to determine if interfaces are present for physical interfaces or configured for
logical interfaces.

Interface Range

An interface range is a set of interfaces to which other commands may be applied and may be created if there
is at least one valid interface within the range.
Bulk configuration excludes from configuration any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default
VLAN may be configured only if the interface range being configured consists of only VLAN ports.
