ip load-sharing

Select the algorithm used to balance traffic between equal-priority WAN interfaces.

Syntax

[no] ip load-sharing dst-ip|random|src-dst-ip

Syntax Description

Keyword	Description
no	(Optional) Returns the load sharing algorithm to its default value
dst-ip	Consider the destination IP address when choosing an outbound WAN interface
random	Randomly select the outbound WAN interface for every connection
src-dst-ip	Consider the source and destination IP addresses when choosing an outbound WAN interface

Defaults

The outbound WAN interface is selected randomly for each connection by default.

Usage Guidelines

Island supports multiple WAN interfaces. Outbound connections are routed to the highest priority active WAN interface as set by the ip priority command. When more than one active WAN interface is at the highest priority, Island will balance the outbound connections between them. This command selects the algorithm Island uses to determine which WAN interface is selected for each outbound connection in that case. The availble algorithms are as follows:

Algorithm	Description
dst-ip	All connections to a given destination IP address will use the same interface.
random	The outbound interface is selected at random for each connection. This is the default.
src-dst-ip	All connections from a given source IP address to a given destination IP address will use the same interface.

Examples
