Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If multiple routes with the same cost to the same destination are available, they can carry out load balancing. The maximum load-balancing command sets the maximum number of equal-cost routes for carrying out load balancing. This optimizes route selection rules and meet traffic forwarding requirements on a complex network.

Configuration Impact

Packets will be load-balanced by multiple equal-cost routes to one destination.

NOTE:

Load balancing is performed either per-destination or per-packet. By default, packets are load-balanced per-destination.

The undo maximum load-balancing command restores the default maximum number of 32 equal-cost routes that are discovered by OSPFv3 for load balancing.

Precautions

To disable load balancing, set the value of number to 1.
