Advanced Hashing

Both regular GigaStream and controlled GigaStream use advanced hashing, which lets you select the criteria on which the hash is based, such as source leader in a bidirectional clock relationship (formerly master) and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, source and destination port, and

The following table shows some different advanced-hash examples for regular GigaStream. Note that the advanced-hash method usually combines multiple criteria.

 

Command

Description

(config) # gigastream advanced-hash slot 3/6 fields ipdst ipsrc

Sets an advanced-hash method for slot 6 in box ID 3 that distributes traffic based on matching IPv4 source and destination addresses.

(config) # gigastream advanced-hash slot 7/2 default

Sets the advanced-hash for slot 2 in box ID 7 to the default criteria.

(config) # gigastream advanced-hash slot 1 fields macdst macsrc

Sets an advanced-hash method on a GigaVUE TA Series node (which only has slot 1) that distributes traffic based on matching source and destination MAC addresses.
