Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

hash-algorithm

Changes the hash algorithm that distributes traffic flows across ECMP paths and the link aggregation group (LAG).

Syntax
hash-algorithm {ecmp | lag | seed {seed-value}} {crc | crc16cc | crc32LSB | crc32MSB | xor | xor1 | xor2 | xor4 | xor8 | random}
Parameters
  • ecmp—Enables the ECMP hash configuration.
  • lag—Enables the LAG hash configuration for Layer 2 (L2) only.
  • seed—Changes the hash algorithm seed value to get a better hash value.
  • seed-value—Enter a hash algorithm seed value, from 0 to 4294967295.
  • crc—Enables the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) polynomial for hash computation.
  • crc16cc—16 bit CRC16 using CRC16-CCITT polynomial
  • crc32LSB—LSB 16 bits of computed CRC32(default)
  • crc32MSB—MSB 16 bits of computed CRC32
  • xor — Enables upper 8 bits of CRC and lower 8 bits of XOR value for computation.
  • xor1—Enables upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor1
  • xor2—Enables upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor2
  • xor4—Enables upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor4
  • xor8—Enables upper 8 bits of CRC16-BISYNC and lower 8 bits of xor8
  • random — Enables a hash algorithm random seed value for ECMP or LAG hash computation.

CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

The hash value calculated with this command is unique to the entire system. Different hash algorithms are based on the number of port-channel members and packet values. The default hash algorithm yields the most balanced results in various test scenarios, but if the default algorithm does not provide a satisfactory distribution of traffic, use this command to designate another algorithm.

When a port-channel member leaves or is added to the port-channel, the hash algorithm recalculates to balance traffic across the members. The no version of this command returns the value to the default.

Example
OS10(config)# hash-algorithm lag crc
