Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for EX Series switches.
Description
(EX8200 switches only) Enable multicast load balancing to evenly distribute the Layer 3 routed multicast traffic on aggregated 10-gigabit Ethernet interfaces. When multicast load balancing is enabled on the EX8200 switch, it takes effect on aggregated 10-gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are currently configured as well as those that are configured later.
Crc-sgip mode is the default. If the default mode is implemented and the Layer 3 routed multicast traffic on the aggregated interfaces is not evenly distributed, you can try the other hashing algorithms. Use the algorithm that best balances your Layer 3 routed multicast traffic.
If you change the hashing algorithm when multicast load balancing is disabled, the new algorithm takes effect after you reenable multicast load balancing.
Default
Multicast load balancing is enabled.
Options
hash-mode mode—Specify one of these hashing algorithms:
