The load-balance hash-seed command configures a hash seed for traffic load balancing on an interface board.
The undo load-balance hash-seed command restores the default configuration.
By default, a hash seed is randomly assigned by the Router.
Usage Scenario
The load balancing function is implemented using the hash algorithm on the upstream interface board. Traffic is hashed based on traffic characteristics, which are called hash factors. If hash factors are more hashable, traffic will be more evenly load-balanced. The device has default values of the hash factors used for load balancing of different service types of packets. Traffic is load balanced based on the default hash factors depending on the service types of packets on the upstream interface board. To implement load balancing better, configure hash factors based on traffic types.
If proper hash factors are selected but traffic load balancing still cannot be performed well, you can run this command to set a hash seed. The hash seed makes hash factors more hashable so that traffic load balancing can be better performed.In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.
