Configuring the load balancing feature

This feature allows you to configure the load balancing feature on a remote routing bridge which is
not a member of the vLAG (also known as a non-local routing bridge), to forward traffic to a vLAG. To
distribute the traffic among the possible paths towards the vLAG, you can configure the vLAG
load-balancing flavor on RB2. Available flavors are listed in

Table 12

.

Additionally, a routing bridge can be set to a different flavor for different vLAGs present in the
cluster. This feature is available for each routing bridge and each vLAG, so different load-balance
flavors can be set for traffic directed towards different vLAGs.

The following example sets the flavor to “destination MAC address and VID-based load balancing.”
