Configuring Load Balancing Based on MAC Addresses

To load-balance traffic based on Layer 2 media access control (MAC) information, include the family multiservice statement at the [edit forwarding-options hash-key] hierarchy level:

family multiservice {destination-mac;source-mac;}

To include the destination-address MAC information in the hash key, include the destination-mac option. To include the source-address MAC information in the hash key, include the source-mac option.

Note: You can configure per-packet load balancing to optimize VPLS traffic flows across multiple paths. For more detailed information, see the Junos VPNs Configuration Guide.

Note: J Series Services Routers do not support this feature.
