Usage Information
By default, FTOS distributes incoming traffic based on a hash algorithm using the following criteria:
• IP source address
• IP destination address
• TCP/UDP source port
• TCP/UDP destination port

Commands
load-balance (E-Series)
e
By default, for E-Series chassis, FTOS uses an IP 5-tuple to distribute IP traffic over members of a Port
Channel as well as equal cost paths. To designate another method to balance traffic over Port Channel
members, use the load-balance command.
Syntax
load-balance [ip-selection 3-tuple | ip-selection packet-based] [mac]
To return to the default setting (IP 5-tuple), use one of the following commands:
• no load-balance ip-selection 3-tuple
ip-selection {dest-ip |
source-ip}
Enter the keywords to distribute IP traffic based on the following criteria:
• dest-ip—Uses destination IP address and destination port fields to hash.
The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the
packet should be forwarded to.
• source-ip—Uses source IP address and source port fields to hash. The
hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the
packet should be forwarded to.
mac {dest-mac |
source-dest-mac |
source-mac}
Enter the keywords to distribute MAC traffic based on the following criteria:
• dest-mac—Uses the destination MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype,
source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing
mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should
be forwarded to.
• source-dest-mac—Uses the destination and source MAC address,
VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash.
The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the
packet should be forwarded to.
• source-mac—Uses the source MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source
module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism
returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be
forwarded to.
tcp-udp enable
Enter the keywords to distribute traffic based on the following:
• enable—Takes the TCP/UDP source and destination ports into
consideration when doing hash computations. (By default, this is
enabled)
