Configuring Eth-Trunk Load Balancing

Configuring Load Balancing in Eth-Trunk Interface

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface eth-trunk number

    The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.

  3. Run mode { lacp-static | manual load-balance }

    The working mode of the Eth-Trunk interface is set.

    • lacp-static: indicates the static LACP mode. In this mode, both load balancing and redundancy backup can be implemented.
    • manual load-balance: indicates the manual load balancing mode. By default, an Eth-Trunk interface works in manual load balancing mode.
  4. (Optional) Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The Eth-Trunk member interface view is displayed.

  5. (Optional) Run distribute-weight weight-value

    The distribute-weight of the member interface is set.

    By default, the weight of an Eth-Trunk member interface is 1.

    The higher the weight of a member interface, the heavier the load over the member link.

    A maximum of 64 member interfaces in an Eth-Trunk interface can carry out load balancing. The total weights of all member interfaces in an Eth-Trunk interface cannot be greater than 64.

    When multicast traffic is transmitted over an Eth-Trunk interface, if the distribute-weight command is used to change the weight of a member interface, you need to run the shutdown and then undo shutdown commands to restart the member interface for the configuration to take effect.

  6. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.

Configuring Layer 2 Multicast Trunk Load Balancing

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run vlan vlan-id or vsi vis-name

    The VLAN or VSI view is displayed.

  3. Run trunk multicast load-balance enable

    Trunk multicast load-balance is enabled.

    By default, trunk load balancing is not enabled for Layer 2 multicast.

    In the same VLAN or VSI, the trunk load balancing function for Layer 2 multicast and IGMP snooping are mutual exclusive. They cannot be configured concurrently.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the save command to save the current configuration to the configuration file when a set of configuration is finished and the expected functions have been achieved.
