Enables load sharing.
Synopsis ip load-sharing paths
no ip load-sharing
Operands paths Specifies the number of load-sharing paths. Valid values range from 0 to 8.
The default is 8. If you specify 1, load sharing is disabled.
Defaults Load sharing is enabled and set to 8 paths.
Command Modes RBridge ID configuration mode
Description Use this command to enable load sharing and set the maximum number of load-sharing paths.
By default, IP load sharing allows IP traffic to be balanced across up to 8 equal paths.
For optimal results, set the maximum number of paths to a value equal to or greater than the
maximum number of equal-cost paths that your network typically contains. For example, if a
Brocade device has six next-hop routers, you should set the maximum paths value to 6.
Usage Guidelines Enter no ip load-sharing to remove the load sharing configuration and restore the default value.
Examples To set the number of load-sharing paths to 7:
switch (config)# rbridge-id 30
switch (config-rbridge-id-30)# ip load-sharing 7
