Configuring Load Balancing Conditions

Configuring Load Balancing Conditions

Configuring Unicast Route Load Balancing

Before configuring unicast route load balancing, please attention to the maximum number of routes of the unicast routing table. The route load balancing increases the number of routes.

Configuring Load Balancing Among IGP Routes

Configuration Procedure:

  1. Deploy multiple links of the same cost/metric to achieve load balancing.
    NOTE:
    Modification of IGP cost impacts on BGP route selection.
  2. (Optional) set the maximum number of routes among which load balancing is performed. For different products and different protocols, the maximum number of equal-cost routes is different, as shown in Table 10-4.
Table 10-4 Configuration Guide for Maximum Number of IGP Load-balancing
Route Type Command Format Views Maximum number
Static route NA - 64
OSPF maximum load-balancing number OSPF view 64
OSPFv3 maximum load-balancing number OSPFv3 view 64
IS-IS maximum load-balancing number IS-IS view, IS-IS topology view, or IS-IS IPv6 topology view 64
IS-IS IPv6 ipv6 maximum load-balancing number
NOTE:

This command is valid only for an IPv6 base topology, and invalid for IPv6 routes in multi-topology.

The maximum load-balancing number command in the IS-IS IPv6 topology view is used to configure load balancing among IPv6 routes in multi-topology.

IS-IS view

 64
RIP maximum load-balancing number RIP view 64
RIPng maximum load-balancing number RIPng view 64
NOTE:
For different products and different protocols, the maximum number of equal-cost routes is different. The maximum value can be adjusted by purchasing license files.

Configuring Load Balancing Among BGP Routes

There are three solutions for Load Balancing Among BGP Routes

  • Solution 1: Static routes or equal-cost IGP routes for BGP route iteration.

    Configuration Procedure:

    1. Establish the BGP peers relationship using Loopback interface.
      NOTE:
      If loopback interfaces are used to establish an EBGP peer relationship, the peer ebgp-max-hop command (hop-count >= 2) must be run; otherwise, the peer relationship cannot be established.
    2. Deploy multiple links between the BGP peers.
    3. Configure multiple static routes or equal-cost IGP routes to the loopback interface address of the remote BGP peer.
    4. Set the maximum number of routes among which load balancing is performed, see Table 10-5.
      NOTE:

      By default, the maximum number of equal-cost BGP routes is 1, that is, the load balancing among BGP routes is not enabled by default.

      If the maximum load-balancing command is configured, when the routes advertised from the EBGP peer is advertised to IBGP peers, the next hop address of the routes are set as the local IP address by which the IBGP peer is established. If the maximum load-balancing command is not configured, the next hop address of the routes is not changed when the routes is advertised to the IBGP peer, unless the peer next-hop-local command is configured.

    Table 10-5 Configuration Guide for Maximum Number of BGP Load-balancing
    Route Type Command Format Views Default value
    BGP
    1. Run the maximum load-balancing [ ebgp | ibgp ] number command to set the maximum number of equal-cost routes.
    2. (Optional) run the load-balancing as-path-ignore command to configure a router to ignore comparing the AS_Path attributes of the routes among which load balancing is performed.
    3. Run the commit.
    		 BGP view, BGP IPv4 unicast address family view, BGP IPv6 unicast address family view, BGP-VPN instance IPv4 address family view, BGP-VPN instance IPv6 address family view 1
    EBGP and IBGP
    1. Run the maximum load-balancing eibgp eibgp number command to set the maximum number of equal-cost routes.
    2. (Optional) run the load-balancing as-path-ignore command to configure a router to ignore comparing the AS_Path attributes of the routes among which load balancing is performed.
    3. Run the commit.
    		 BGP-VPN instance IPv4 address family view, BGP-VPN instance IPv6 address family view 1

    For application case of Solution 1, see BGP Route Load Balancing in an RR Scenario.

  • Solution 2: Modify BGP route attributes according to the rule of BGP route selection.

    Configuration Procedure:

    1. Deploy multiple links between the BGP peers.
    2. Modify BGP route attributes according to the rule of BGP route selection. For detailed information about the rule of BGP route selection, see Load Balancing Among BGP Routes.
    3. Set the maximum number of routes among which load balancing is performed, see the above table.

  • Solution 3: Divide the destination addresses into multiple groups and deploy multiple links between the BGP peers, one link for each group.

    Suitable scenarios: there are multiple EBGP peers in the same AS to the same destination.

    Configuration Procedure:

    1. Configure a static route to the Loopback address of the EBGP peer on each EBGP routers. The static routes are used for BGP route iteration, and then traffic is load-balanced among the BGP routes.
    2. Configure ACL, IP-prefix, AS-Path filter, community-filter, extcommunity-filter, or Route Distinguisher (RD) filter to divide the destination addresses into multiple groups.
    3. Configure route policies to sets the next hop address as the Loopback address of the EBGP peer so that one link is used for each group.
    4. Apply the route policies to the routes advertisement from the EBGP routers to RR or IBGP peer.

    For application case of Solution 3, see Solution to the Low Equal-Cost Route Specification on the Remote Device Without Interrupting Services.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the save command to save the current configuration to the configuration file when a set of configuration is finished and the expected functions have been achieved.

Configuring Multicast Route Load Balancing

Configuring Multicast Load Balancing Mode

  1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.

  2. (Optional) Run the ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name command to enter the VPN instance view.

    If the multicast route belongs to public rather than VPN, the step 2 cannot be configured.

  3. Run the multicast load-splitting { balance-ucmp | stable-preferred | source | group | source-group } command to configure the multicast load balancing mode.

    By default, load balancing among multicast routes is disabled.

  4. Run the commit.

Configuring Layer 2 Multicast Trunk Load Balancing

  1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
  2. Run the vlan vlan-id command to enter the VLAN view, or run the vsi vis-name command to enter the VSI view.

  3. Run the trunk multicast load-balance enable command to enable trunk multicast load-balance.

    By default, trunk load balancing is not enabled for Layer 2 multicast.

    In the same VLAN or VSI, the trunk load balancing function for Layer 2 multicast and IGMP snooping are mutual exclusive. They cannot be configured concurrently.

  4. Run the commit.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the save command to save the current configuration to the configuration file when a set of configuration is finished and the expected functions have been achieved.

Configuring Eth-Trunk Load Balancing

Configuring Load Balancing in Eth-Trunk Interface

  1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
  2. Run the interface eth-trunk number command to enter the Eth-Trunk interface view.

  3. Run the mode { lacp-static | manual load-balance } to set the working mode of the Eth-Trunk interface.

    • lacp-static: indicates the static LACP mode. In this mode, both load balancing and redundancy backup can be implemented.
    • manual load-balance: indicates the manual load balancing mode. By default, an Eth-Trunk interface works in manual load balancing mode.
  4. (Optional) run the interface interface-type interface-number command to enter the Eth-Trunk member interface view.

  5. (Optional) run the distribute-weight weight-value command to set the distribute-weight of the member interface.

    By default, the weight of an Eth-Trunk member interface is 1.

    The higher the weight of a member interface, the heavier the load over the member link.

    A maximum of 64 member interfaces in an Eth-Trunk interface can carry out load balancing. The total weights of all member interfaces in an Eth-Trunk interface cannot be greater than 64.

    When multicast traffic is transmitted over an Eth-Trunk interface, if the distribute-weight command is used to change the weight of a member interface, you need to run the shutdown and then undo shutdown commands to restart the member interface for the configuration to take effect.

Configuring UCMP

NOTE:

Support not only routing UCMP, but also LSP/Tunnel UCMP which supports L2VPN and MPLS P scenarios.

Routing UCMP can be deployed in two methods.

Method 1: Enable Routing UCMP globally

  1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.

  2. Run the load-balance unequal-cost enable command to enable UCMP globally.

    By default, UCMP is not enabled in the system.

    When the UCMP is enabled globally, the UCMP takes effect on Ethernet interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, POS interfaces, Eth-Trunk interfaces and IP-Trunk interfaces, and TE tunnel interfaces.

  3. Run the commit.

Method 2: Enable UCMP on the interfaces

  1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
  2. Run the interface interface-type interface-number command to enter the interface view.

  3. Run the load-balance unequal-cost enable command to enable UCMP on the interface.

    This command cannot be enabled on logical interfaces. It can be enabled only on physical interfaces.

  4. Run the shutdown and undo shutdown commands in order to restart the interface so that the UCMP configuration takes effect. Routes and FIB entries are refreshed only when you restart the interface after UCMP is enabled or disabled on the interface.
  5. Run the commit.

Enable UCMP for LSP/Tunnel

Table 10-7 Configuration Guide for Enabling UCMP for LSP/Tunnel
Views Command Format Function and Scenarios
System view load-balance mpls unequal-cost enable

Enables UCMP for LSPs on an MPLS P node.

If unequal-cost load balancing is enabled and the MPLS P has multiple outbound interfaces, unequal-cost load balancing is performed among the outbound interfaces based on bandwidth weights. If unequal-cost load balancing is disabled and the MPLS P has multiple outbound interfaces, equal-cost load balancing is performed among the outbound interfaces. To enable the MPLS UCMP function, run the load-balance mpls unequal-cost enable command.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the save command to save the current configuration to the configuration file when a set of configuration is finished and the expected functions have been achieved.
