Guidelines for Configuring Locality Bias in a Virtual Chassis

You can configure locality bias in a Virtual Chassis with the following guidelines:

• Make sure you know the total and available amounts of bandwidth in your network. Enabling locality bias when local egress links do not have enough bandwidth to support additional traffic can result in immediate traffic loss. The system does not prevent configurations that result in oversubscription.

• Locality bias directs only user traffic toward the local member router. Locality bias does not affect load balancing of control traffic within the Virtual Chassis.

• You cannot configure adaptive aggregated Ethernet load balancing and locality bias together.

• You cannot configure weighted load balancing and locality bias together.
