multicast load-splitting weight
Function
The multicast load-splitting weight command sets the multicast load splitting weight for an interface.
The undo multicast load-splitting weight command restores the default setting.
By default, the multicast load splitting weight of an interface is 1.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| weight-value | Specifies the multicast load splitting weight of an interface. | The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 32. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
When a stable-preferred or balance-preferred multicast splitting policy is configured, you can run this command to set load splitting weights for interfaces to realize unbalanced load splitting. An interface with a larger weight value has more multicast routing entries with it as the upstream interface.
Prerequisites
IP multicast routing has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command.
Precautions
This command is applicable only when the multicast load splitting policy is set to stable-preferred or balance-preferred.
When the multicast load splitting weight on an interface is 0, the routes with this interface as the upstream interface do not take part in load splitting.
