This question is more appropriately asked in the USENET comp.dcom.* hierarchies. -----Original Message----- From: Jaideep Chandrashekar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: question about traffic eng/ Cisco CEF. Hi, I seem to be having some problems trying to use Cisco CEF on a 7200. My problem description is as follows. I need some way of sharing load (connections) across multiple links. The routes are all statically configured and have the same distance (though physically of different lengths). When I enable cef and set it to share load on a per destination mode, for some reason, all the traffic to a destination takes a single route .. though the route table shows two equal cost paths. The only point I might be missing is that I am looking at very few connections (2-3) and that load sharing with cef might be engineered to share load in a statistical sense (only kick in with large number of connections). Could anybody throw any light on this. Also ... is there any way to clear the routing table so that when a new link comes up, (and a new route is added to a list of equal cost paths) all the connections are again redistributed across the links. Couldn't seem to be able to make existing connections switch paths. With fast switching ... was able to do this by flushing the routecache .. but cef doesn't use a cache (says the documentation).... Any help is much appreciated. -jaideep
