(Optional) Configuring the Load Balancing Mode for Packet Forwarded Through LSPs

In real-world scenarios, you need to configure a proper load balancing mode based on MPLS service traffic characteristics on a transit node. If a service traffic parameter changes frequently, it is easier to load balance the traffic if you use the load balancing mode based on this parameter. For example, if the IP addresses of MPLS packets change frequently, it is easier to load balance traffic among LSPs if you use the load balancing mode based on dip or sip.

If you change the load balancing mode of packets forwarded through LSPs, the change takes effect only on newly established LSPs. If you want the change to take effect on previously created LSPs, run the reset mpls ldp command to re-establish the LSPs.

Only the S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H, S6720-HI, S6730S-H, and S6730-H support this function.
