The output of show IPv6 cam command has been enhanced to include the ECMP field in the Neighbor table of Ipv6 CAM. The
sample output is displayed as follows, which is similar to the prefix table.
The following is the portion of the example output:
Neighbor Mac-Addr Port Vid EC
------------------------------------- -------------------------
[ 132] 20::1 00:00:20:d5:ec:a0 Fo 1/49/1 0 1
[ 132] 20::1 00:00:20:d5:ec:a1 Fo 1/50/1 0 1
Support for moving /128 IPv6 Prefixes and /32 IPv4 Prefixes
The software supports a command to program IPv6 /128 route prefixes in the route table. You can define IPv6 /128 route
prefixes in the route table using the ipv6 unicast-host-routecommand. You can also define IPv4 /32 route prefixes in
the host table using the ipv4 unicast-host-routecommand.
RTAG7
RTAG7 is a hashing algorithm that load balances the traffic within a trunk group in a controlled manner. In order to effectively
increase the bandwidth of the LAG/Equal Cost Multiple Path routes, traffic is balanced across the member links. The balancing
is performed by using the RTAG7 hashing, which is designed to have the member links used efficiently as the traffic profile gets
more diverse.Hashing-based load balancing is used in the following applications:
L3 ECMP
LAGs
HiGig trunking
The RTAG7 hash scheme generates a hash that consists of the following two portions:
The first portion is primarily generated from packet headers to identify micro-flows in the traffic. The Parameters that are
considered for hash computations by default in RTAG7 hashing is shown in the given example:

DellEMC(conf)#
Packet Header parameters for the first portion of the RTAG7 hash can be controlled. By default, all the listed parameters
from the Packet header are considered for hash computation. Few parameters [on demand] can be removed using the given
CLIs.
