Configuring Hash Factors (P nodes in MPLS Scenarios)

Configuration Guide

In VS mode, this configuration process is supported only by the admin VS.

Suitable Scenarios

The command is suitable on the P nodes of the L3VPN, VPLS, or the VLL homogenous transport.

This command is used to specify hash factors in MPLS forwarding. If MPLS labels are hashable, select the parameter label. If MPLS labels are not hashable and the labeled inner packets are IP packets, select the ip parameter. If MPLS labels are not hashable and the labeled inner packets are not IP packets, select the parameter payload-header.

Follow-up Procedure

If this command is configured but traffic load balancing cannot be performed well, you can try to modify hash-arithmetic. For detailed information, see Configuring Hash-arithmetic.

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.
