DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
show cef ipv4 [ prefix [ mask ]] | interface-type
interface-path-id ] [detail] [location node-id ]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show cef ipv4 10.1.2.1
detail
Step 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Router# show cef [ipv4 | ipv6]
exact-route source-address destination address
[protocol type ] [source-port source-port ]
[destination-port destination-port ]
[ingress-interface type interface-path-id ]
[ policy-class value ] [ detail | location
node-id ]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show cef exact-route
192.168.254.1 10.1.2.1 protocol tcp source-port
5500 destination-port 80 ingress-interface
gi0/6/5/4
Step 3
show interfaces [ type interface-path-id | all |
local | location node-id ] [accounting | brief |
detail | summary]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show interfaces

Troubleshooting Layer 2 Load Balancing

This section describes how to troubleshoot load balancing at Layer 2. This procedure is specific to
Layer 2 bundles.

Verifying the Bundle Status, IGP Route, and CEF Database

Cisco Express Forwarding uses the path information in the IP routing table to balance traffic over
multiple links. For this reason, confirming proper Cisco Express Forwarding load balancing begins with
confirming the contents of the IP routing table. When troubleshooting a bundle, verify that the bundle
us up and that the IGP route to the desired destination includes the bundle interface.

Verifying the Bundle Status, IGP Route, and CEF Database
Configuring Layer 4 Load Balancing
Viewing the Expected Paths and Measuring the Flows
Purpose
Displays the CEF forwarding table. Verify that it contains
the same interfaces that the routing table has for this
destination.
Displays the exact route that a specific flow would take. Use
this command for several flows to verify that they are
distributed equally over the parallel interfaces.
Displays the traffic rates by interface. Use this command to
verify that the simulated traffic takes the expected egress
interface.
