The load-balancing ignore-esi command configures disables a device from checking ESI validity when an EVPL instance load balancing is performed.
The undo load-balancing ignore-esi command restores the default configuration.
By default, a device checks ESI validity when an EVPL instance load balancing is performed.
Usage Scenario
When active-active protection is deployed in the EVPN VPWS scenario, if an access device is single-homed to an aggregation device, no ESI is configured on the access interface. To form active-active load balancing, you can run the load-balancing ignore-esi command to enable the aggregation device to ignore ESI validity check during EVPL instance load balancing.
