Hi Andrew!,
Glad to see you around and yea! thanks for confirming my doubt.
I have a few more doubts that i have no where to turn to and i hope you will enlightened me…
My coreswitch has ip cef turn on my default.
q1) I have been reading up abit on cisco about IP CEF and it seems like to enable/disable IP CEF, you have to do in at the ingress interface as the decision (e.g. load balance is done there). – is it right ?
Assuming i have “no ip cef” and only wish to turn on ip cef on certain interfaces and ->
q2) if i want to do to packet loadbalancing, should “ip load-share per packet” command be issue on the ingress interface as well ?
q3) Reading How to Verify Cisco Express Forwarding -> “http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ios-nx-os-software/ios-software-releases-120-mainline/47205-cef-whichpath.html”
Use the show interface x/x stat command and determine the number of packets and bytes that the router forwarded through "Processor" instead of "Route cache." Note that "Route cache" includes both fast-switched and CEF-switched packets.
router#show interface stats
FastEthernet0/0
Switching path Pkts In Chars In Pkts Out Chars Out
Processor 95084 26211621 33493 3386174
Route cache 24581 1132797 24542 13297583
Distributed cache 0 0 0 0
Total 119665 27344418 58035 16683757
Should this command be issue on the ingress or egress interface ?
if it is to be issue on the INGRESS interface -> What does the “Pkts Outs” under Route cache means then ?
Really hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Alan
