Enabling local-first load sharing for link aggregation

About local-first load sharing for link aggregation

Use local-first load sharing in a multidevice link aggregation scenario to distribute traffic preferentially across member ports on the ingress slot.

When you aggregate ports on different member devices in an IRF fabric, you can use local-first load sharing to reduce traffic on IRF links, as shown in Figure 11. For more information about IRF, see IRF Configuration Guide.
