Usage guidelines
The device supports the following forwarding modes:
• Flow-based mode—Forwards flows with the same 5 fields (source IP address, destination IP
address, source port number, destination port number, and protocol number) to the same CPU for
processing. This mode takes the first-in first-out rule.
• Packet-based mode—Forwards packets in sequence to different CPUs for processing, even though
they are the same flow. This mode does not ensure packet order.
Only one mode takes effect at one time.
To make the IP forwarding mode modification take effect, reboot the device.
