The following example shows the configuration and show command for packet-based hashing on the
E-Series.
FTOS(conf)#load-balance ip-selection packet-based
FTOS#show running-config | grep load
load-balance ip-selection packet-based
FTOS#
The load-balance packet based command can co-exist with load balance mac command to achieve the
functionality shown in Table 23-1.
IPv4, IPv6, and non-IP traffic handling on the E-Series
The table below presents the combinations of the load-balance command and their effect on traffic types.
TCP/UDP source port
X
TCP/UDP destination port
X
Note: For IPV6, only the first 32 bits (LSB) of IP Source Address and IP Destination Address are used for
hash generation.
