protocol has its own route redistribution mechanism. For detailed information,

Load sharing is implemented in the following ways:
Flow-based load sharing: After enabled with fast forwarding, a device can only
■
perform flow-based load sharing. For example, assume there are two
equal-cost routes on the device. If one data flow is to pass through the device,
it will be forwarded through either route; if two data flows are to pass through,
they will be forwarded through the two routes separately.
Packet-based load sharing: With fast forwarding disabled, the device can
■
evenly forward packets over the two equal-cost routes.
Bandwidth-based non-balanced load sharing: With fast forwarding disabled,
■
the device can forward packets based on the configurable bandwidths of the
interfaces. The greater bandwidth an interface has, the more packets it
forwards.
Follow these steps to enable bandwidth-based non-balanced load sharing
To do...
Enter system view
Enable bandwidth-based
non-balanced load sharing
n
Bandwidth-based non-balanced load sharing does not support the load sharing of
flows. Therefore, you have to disable fast forwarding on the corresponding
outbound and inbound interfaces.
Follow these steps to configure interface load sharing bandwidth:
To do...
Enter interface view
Configure the load sharing
bandwidth for the interface
n
The load sharing bandwidth of an interface defaults to the physical bandwidth
■
of the interface.
If you specify a value of 0 for the bandwidth argument, routing is disabled on
■
the interface and the interface will not be used for load sharing. But this does
not affect other states of the physical interface.
