Viewing the current IP load-sharing configuration


[IMPORTANT: ]

IMPORTANT: This section applies to the HP Switch 2910al-series and the HP Switch 2920-series only.


Use the show running command to view the currently active IP load-sharing configuration, and show config to view the IP load-sharing configuration in the startup-config file. (While in its default configuration, IP load-sharing does not appear in the command output.) If IP load sharing is configured with nondefault settings (disabled or configured for either two or three equal-cost nexthop paths), then the current settings are displayed in the command output.
