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
• no load-balance ip-selection packet-based
• no load-balance mac
