Equal cost multi-path

ECMP is a routing technique where next-hop packet forwarding to a single destination occurs over multiple best paths. When you enable ECMP, OS10 uses a hash algorithm to determine the next-hop. The hash algorithm makes hashing decisions based on values in various packet fields and internal values.

Configure the hash algorithm in CONFIGURATION mode.

hash-algorithm ecmp {crc | crc16cc | crc32LSB | crc32MSB | xor | xor1 | xor2 | xor4 | xor8 | random}

Change hash algorithm

OS10(config)# hash-algorithm ecmp crc

Restrictions on ECMP Static Routes

When you configure static route leaking, all the Equal-cost multipath (ECMP) static routes from the source do not leak to the destination VRF instance. Only a single ECMP route, normally the best ECMP route, leaks to the destination VRF instance.
