Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM. Added flow-based-hashing
support for hashing on ECMP.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information To ensure that CRC is not used for LAG, set the default hash-algorithm method on
ExaScale systems. For example,hash-algorithm ecmp xor lag checksum
nh-ecmp checksum.
To achieve the functionality of hash-align on the ExaScale platform, do not use
CRC as a hash-algorithm method.
The hash value calculated with the hash-algorithm command is unique to the
entire chassis. The hash algorithm command with the line card option changes the
hash for a particular line card by applying the mask specified in the IPSA and IPDA
fields.
The line card option is applicable with the lag-hash-align microcode only (refer to
CAM Profile Commands). Any other microcode returns an error message as
follows:
• Dell(conf)#hash-algorithm linecard 5 ip-sa-mask ff ip-da-
mask ff
• % Error: This command is not supported in the current
microcode configuration
In addition, the linecard number ip-sa-mask value ip-da-mask value
option has the following behavior to maintain bi-directionality:
• When hashing is done on both IPSA and IPDA, the ip-sa-mask and ip-da-
mask values must be equal. (Single Linecard).
• When hashing is done only on IPSA or IPDA, the Dell Networking OS maintains
bi-directionality with masks set to XX 00 for line card 1 and 00 XX for line card 2
(ip-sa-mask and ip-da-mask). The mask value must be the same for both
line cards when using multiple line cards as ingress (where XX is any value from
00 to FF for both line cards). For example, assume that traffic is flowing
between linecard 1 and linecard 2:
• hash-algorithm linecard 1 ip-sa-mask aa ip-da-mask 00
• hash-algorithm linecard 2 ip-sa-mask 00 ip-da-mask aa
The different hash algorithms are based on the number of Port Channel members
and packet values. The default hash algorithm (number 0) yields the most balanced
