Usage Guidelines

If a network has multiple redundant links, a maximum number of equal-cost routes can be configured to implement load balancing. In this manner, network resources are more fully utilized, situations where some links are overloaded while others are idle can be avoided, and long delays in packet transmissions can be prevented.

Example

# Set the maximum number of equal-cost routes to 4.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] rip 1
[sysname-rip-1] maximum load-balancing 4
