weight

Assigns a default weight for routes from the neighbor interfaces.

Syntax

weight

number

Parameters

number

—Enter a number as the weight for routes, from 1 to 4294967295.

Default

Command Mode

ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR

Usage Information

The path with the highest weight value is preferred in the best-path selection process. The

version of this

command resets the value to the default.

Example

OS10(conf-router-bgp-neighbor)# weight 4096

Supported Releases

10.3.0E or later

ECMP is a routing technique where next-hop packet forwarding to a single destination occurs over multiple best paths. OS10 uses a

hashing algorithm to determine the next-hop when you enable ECMP. The hashing algorithm makes hashing decisions based on values in

various packet

ﬁelds

as well as some internal values.

Load balancing

RTAG7 is a hashing algorithm that load balances

traﬃc

within a trunk group in a controlled manner. To

eﬀectively

increase the bandwidth of

ECMP routes,

traﬃc

is balanced across member links. The balancing is performed by using the RTAG7 hashing, which is designed to have

the member links used

eﬀectively

as the

traﬃc

proﬁle

gets more diverse.

The RTAG7 hash scheme generates a hash that consists of two parts:

•

The

ﬁrst

part is primarily generated from packet headers to identify

micro-ﬂows

traﬃc.

By default, all listed parameters are enabled

for load balancing except the ingress port.

Load-Balancing Configuration For LAG and ECMP:

----------------------------------------------

IPV4 Load Balancing

: Enabled

IPV6 Load Balancing

: Enabled

MAC Load Balancing

: Enabled

TCP-UDP Load Balancing

: Enabled

Ingress Port Load Balancing : Disabled

IPV4 FIELDS

: source-ip destination-ip protocol vlan-id l4-destination-port l4-source-port

IPV6 FIELDS

: source-ip destination-ip protocol vlan-id l4-destination-port l4-source-port

MAC FIELDS

: source-mac destination-mac

TCP-UDP FIELDS: l4-destination-port

•

The second part comes from static physical

conﬁguration

such as ingress and egress port numbers.

You can change the hash

ﬁeld

to generate load balancing based on any parameters using the

load-balance

command.
