Setup Guide

• Change the default (0) to another algorithm and apply it to ECMP, LAG hashing, or a particular line card.

• Change the Hash algorithm seed value to get better hash value
Hash seed is used to compute the hash value. By default hash seed is chassis MAC 32 bits. we can also change the hash seed by the
following command.
CONFIGURATION mode
hash-algorithm seed {seed value}
• Change to another algorithm.
CONFIGURATION mode
hash-algorithm [ecmp{crc16|crc16cc|crc32LSB|crc32MSB|crc-upper|dest-ip|lsb|xor1|xor2|xor4|
xor8|xor16}]
Example of the hash-algorithm Command
DellEMC(conf)#hash-algorithm ecmp xor 26 lag crc 26 nh-ecmp checksum 26
DellEMC(conf)#
The hash-algorithm command is specic to ECMP group. The default ECMP hash conguration is crc-lower. This command takes the
lower 32 bits of the hash key to compute the egress port. Other options for ECMP hash-algorithms are:
• crc16 — uses 16 bit CRC16-bisync polynomial
• crc16cc — uses 16 bit CRC16 using CRC16-CCITT polynomial
• crc32LSB — uses LSB 16 bits of computed CRC32
• crc32MSB — uses MSB 16 bits of computed CRC32(default)
• crc-upper — uses the upper 32 bits of the hash key to compute the egress port.
• dest-ip — uses destination IP address as part of the hash key.
• lsb — uses the least signicant bit of the hash key to compute the egress port.
• xor1 — uses Upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor1
• xor2 — Upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor2
• xor4 —Upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor4
• xor8 — Upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor8
• xor16 — uses 16 bit XOR.
