Routing Information (Performance Properties)

Routing information for a switch, including IP Address, Routing Mode and Adaptive Routing.

IP Address
Property Description
IPV6 Address IP Address to allow query of the IP address by which additional switch chassis management functions may be accessed.
IPV4 Address IP Address to allow query of the IP address by which additional switch chassis management functions may be accessed.
Routing Mode
Property Description
Supported Supported routing mode. Routing mode enables alternate routing table modes
Enabled Enabled routing mode. Routing mode enables alternate routing table modes.
Adaptive Routing
Property Description
Enable Enables/Disables Adaptive Routing.
Pause Temporarily disables AR.
Lost Routes Only Indicates that AR should only be done for failed links.
Frequency Value expands to 2^F*64ms.
Algorithm 0 = Random, 1 = Greedy, 2 = Random Greedy.
Threshold
This is the threshold, above which, adaptive routing will trigger to start offloading DLIDs to alternate ports with no or low or no congestion. The thresholds are in terms of the distribution over the available buffering for a given port VL. Values 1-4 are considered high congestion at the current egress port. Values 5-7 are considered medium congestion. The weight values are as follows:
  • 0 = switch default tuning
  • 1 = has consumed nearly all of the buffering(or Tags) for a VL (~100%)
  • 2 = 90%
  • 3 = 80%
  • 4 = 70%
  • 5 = 65%
  • 6 = 60%
  • 7 = 55%
