EAPS and Load Sharing

[Mrxlazuardin]

Hi,

I want to double my ring bandwidth between one BD8800 and two X460. Which one is the best, using EAPS over load sharing ports (ex. LACP) or use multiple domain rings with different ways (clockwise and conter clockwise)?

Best regards,

Hey Paul

Thanks apologize the command reference says that it is in there as of 12.3 code.

I do not believe there is anyway to change the crc in the 450a

xos 15.3 model X450a. Cannot use custom

"enable sharing 10 grouping 10-11 algorithm address-based custom lacp"




X450a-24t.2 # enable sharing 10 grouping 10-11 algorithm address-based ?
Execute the command
health-check link aggregation group handled by health-check application
L2 Based on layer 2 MAC (default)
L3_L4 Based on layer 3 IP and layer 4 port
lacp link aggregation group handled by LACP
X450a-24t.2 # enable sharing 10 grouping 10-11 algorithm address-based

Hey Paul

The command configure sharing address-based custom should be in 15.3 as it has been in XOS since 12.3. The crc-32 however is not there we only supported crc-16

"This command specifies the part of the packet header that the switch examines to select the egress"
"port for address-based load-sharing trunks. The address-based load-sharing setting is global and applies to all load-sharing trunks, or LAGs, that are address-based and configured with a custom algorithm. You change this setting by issuing the command again with a different option."
"The addressing information examined is based on the packet protocol as follows:"
"• IPv4 packets—Uses the source and destination IPv4 addresses and Layer4 port numbers as specified with this command."
"• IPv6 packets—Uses the source and destination IPv6 addresses and Layer4 port numbers."
"• MPLS packets—Uses the top, second, and reserved labels and the source and destination IP"
"addresses."
"• Non-IP Layer 2—Uses the VLAN ID, the source and destination MAC addresses, and the ethertype."
"The xor hash algorithm guarantees that the same egress port is selected for traffic distribution based"
"on a pair of IP addresses, Layer4 ports, or both, regardless of which is the source and which is the"
"destination."

Hope this helps

Hi,

I try this command and not supported in XOS 15.3.3.5 model X450a-24x.

"configure sharing address-based custom"

Is there any way to change the CRC to customize the hash for X450a-24x? Thanks.

BRgds,

Hi,

Will CRC16 and CRC32 give more ethernet farmes reordering overhead than L3_L4?
