hash-keys (Interfaces)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the hash keys used for load balancing in aggregated multiservices (AMS) for next-hop style services. The hash keys supported in the ingress and egress direction are the source IP address and destination IP address.

Hash keys are used to define the load-balancing behavior among the various members in the AMS. For example, if hash-keys is configured as source-ip, then the hashing is performed based on the source IP address of the packet, so that all packets with the same source IP address land on the same member. When you use ingress-key and egress-key, you must configure hash keys to take the traffic direction into consideration. For example, if you configure hash-keys as source-ip in the ingress direction, then you must configure hash-keys as destination-ip in the egress direction. This is required to ensure that the packets of the same flow reach the same member of the AMS group.

If you are configuring an AMS interface used in a service set for DS-Lite,

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.

Options

egress-key destination-ip

Use the destination IP address of the flow to compute the hash used in load balancing. Configure the hash keys to be used in the egress flow direction.

egress-key source-ip

Use the source IP address of the flow to compute the hash used in load balancing. Configure the hash keys to be used in the egress flow direction.

ingress-key destination-ip

Use the destination IP address of the flow to compute the hash used in load balancing. Configure the hash keys to be used in the ingress flow direction.

ingress-key source-ip

Use the source IP address of the flow to compute the hash used in load balancing. Configure the hash keys to be used in the ingress flow direction.
