the same for both stack-units when using multiple stack-units as ingress (where XX is any value from 00 to FF
for both stack-units). For example, assume that trac is owing 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 dierent hash algorithms are based on the number of Port Channel members and packet values. The default
hash algorithm (number 0) yields the most balanced results in various test scenarios, but if the default algorithm
does not provide a satisfactory distribution of trac, use the hash-algorithm command to designate another
algorithm.
When a Port Channel member leaves or is added to the Port Channel, the hash algorithm is recalculated to balance
trac across the members.
ip ecmp-group
Enable and specify the maximum number of ecmp that the L3 CAM hold for a route, By default, when maximum paths are not congured,
the CAM can hold a maximum of 16 ecmp per route.
S6000
Syntax
ip ecmp-group {maximum-paths | {number} {path-fallback}
To negate a command, use the no ip ecmp-group maximum-paths {number} command.
Parameters
maximum-paths Specify the maximum number of ECMP for a route. The range is 2 to 64.
path-fallback Use the keywords path-fallback to enable this feature. If you enable the feature, re-
enter this keyword to disable the feature.
Defaults 16
