Using the IP Payload in the Hash Key

To use the MPLS packet's IP payload (IP version 4 [IPv4] or IP version 6 [IPv6]) in the hash key, include the label-1 and payload statements at the [edit forwarding-options hash-key family mpls] hierarchy level. Specify the ip option to the payload statement at the [edit forwarding-options hash-key family mpls payload] hierarchy level:

[edit forwarding-options hash-key family mpls]

label-1;

payload {

    ip;

}

   
NOTE: The router determines if the MPLS payload is an IP packet by checking the byte containing the IP version number.  If the IP version number is 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6), the packet is assumed to be an IP packet.
