ip vlan-flooding
Enable unicast data traffic flooding on VLAN member ports.
E-Series
Syntax
ip vlan-flooding
To disable, use the no ip vlan-flooding command.
Defaults Disabled.
Command Modes INTERFACE
Command History
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale.
Version 7.4.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage 
Information
By default, this command is disabled. When enabled, all the Layer 3 unicast routed data traffic 
going through a VLAN member port is flooded across all the member ports of that VLAN. There 
might be some ARP table entries which are resolved through ARP packets which had Ethernet 
MAC SA different from MAC information inside the ARP packet. This unicast data traffic 
flooding occurs only for those packets which use these ARP entries.
load-balance (C-Series, S-Series, Z-Series)
By default, for C-Series and S-Series, FTOS uses an IP 4-tuple (IP SA, IP DA, Source Port, and Destination Port) to 
distribute IP traffic over members of a Port Channel as well as equal-cost paths. To designate another method to 
balance traffic over Port Channel members, use the load-balance command.
C-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, S4810
Syntax
load-balance {ip-selection [dest-ip | source-ip]} | {mac [dest-
mac | source-dest-mac | source-mac]} | {tcp-udp | ingress-port 
[enable]}
To return to the default setting (IP 4-tuple), use the no load-balance {ip-selection 
[dest-ip | source-ip]} | {mac [dest-mac | source-dest-mac | 
source-mac]} | {tcp-udp | ingress-port [enable]}command.
Parameters
ip-selection 
{dest-ip | source-
ip}
Enter the keywords to distribute IP traffic based on the following 
criteria:
• dest-ip — Uses destination IP address and destination 
port fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit 
index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.
• source-ip — Uses source IP address and source port 
fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index 
indicating which port the packet should be forwarded.
