load-balance flexhash
Specify the parameters for the Flex Hash mechanism, such as whether IPv4 or IPv6 packets must be
subject to Flex Hash functionality, a unique protocol number, the offset of hash fields from the start of
the L4 header to be used for hash calculation, and a meaningful description to associate the protocol
number with the name.
Syntax
load-balance flexhash ipv4/ipv6 ip-proto <protocol number>
<description string> offset1 <offset1 value> [offset2 <offset2
value>]
To disable the Flex hash settings, use the no load-balance flexhash ipv4/
ipv6 ip-proto protocol number command.
Parameters
ipv4 Denotes whether Flex Hash needs to be enabled for IPv4
packets.
ipv6 Denotes whether Flex Hash needs to be enabled for IPv6
packets.
protocol number
Represents the Outer IPv4 protocol field in case of IPv4
packets, and the Outer IPv6 next header field in case of IPv6
packets.
The ipv4/ipv6 keyword and the IP protocol value are used
as keys to identify if a duplicate flex hash configuration is
already present. Duplicate flex hash configuration is not
possible. To change an existing flex hash configuration, you
must delete the existing flex hash attribute and configure
the flex attribute afresh.
description string A description string is followed by the protocol number to
enable you to associate the protocol number with the
protocol name in an easily-identifiable way. For example, for
a protocol number of 254, you can specify the description
as RRoCE.
offset1 value Specify the byte offset from the start of the L4 header from
which the 2-byte data is extracted and be used in hash
computation. You must enter the offset as an even number.
The offset range is 0 – 30 bytes from start of L4 header.
offset2 value (Optional) Specify the additional 2 bytes that must be
extracted from the start of the L4 header to be used for
hash computation. You must enter the offset as an even
number. The offset range is 0 – 30 bytes from start of L4
header.
