Configuring Link Bundling
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
hw-module load-balance bundle l2-service l3-params
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# hw-module load-balance bundle l2-service l3-params
(Optional) Enables Layer 3 load balancing on Layer 2 link bundles.
Step 3
interface Bundle-Ether bundle-id l2transport
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#(config)# interface Bundle-Ether 3 l2transport
Creates a new Ethernet link bundle with the specified bundle-id and with Layer 2 transport enabled.
The range is 1 to 65535.
Step 4
bundle load-balance hash hash-value [auto]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-subif)# bundle load-balancing hash 1
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-subif)# bundle load-balancing hash auto
Configures all egressing traffic on the fixed members of a bundle to flow through the same physical member link.
• hash-value—Numeric value that specifies the physical member link through which all egressing traffic in this
bundle will flow. The values are 1 through 8.
• auto—The physical member link through which all egressing traffic on this bundle will flow is automatically
chosen.
Step 5
end or commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes:
commit them before exiting (yes/no/cancel)?
