Only one system name can be configured. If multiple system names are configured, the last one encountered
overwrites the previous entry.
The no form of the command reverts to the default value.
Default The default system name is set to the chassis serial number which is read from the backplane EEPROM.
Parameters system-name — Enter the system name as a character string. The string may be up to 32 characters long.

Syntax system-ip-load-balancing

Context config>system
Description This command enables the use of the system IP address in the ECMP hash algorithm to add a per system
variable. This can help guard against cases where multiple routers, in series, will end up hashing traffic to
the same ECMP/LAG path.
This command is set at a system wide basis, however if certain IOMs do not support the new load-balancing
algorithm, they will continue to use the default algorithm.
The no form of the command resets the system wide algorithm to default.
Default no system-ip-load-balancing
