Version Description
7.5.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series.
Usage Information The hash value calculated with the hash-algorithm command is unique to the entire chassis. The default
ECMP hash conguration is crc-lower. This command takes the lower 32 bits of the hash key to compute the
egress port and is the “fall-back” conguration if you have not congured anything else.
The dierent hash algorithms are based on the number of ECMP group members and packet values. The default
hash algorithm yields the most balanced results in various test scenarios, but if the default algorithm does not
provide satisfactory distribution of trac, use this command to designate another algorithm.
When a member leaves or is added to the ECMP group, the hash algorithm is recalculated to balance trac across
the members.
hash-algorithm seed
Select the seed value for the ECMP, LAG, and NH hashing algorithm.
Syntax
hash-algorithm seed value [stack-unitslot/port] [port-set number]
Parameters
seed value Enter the keyword seed then the seed value. The range is from 0 to 2,147,483,646.
stack–unit slot/port Enter the keyword stack-unit then the slot/port number.
port-set number Enter the keyword port-set then the port-pipe number. The value is 0.
Defaults None
