Configuring fast forwarding
About fast forwarding
Fast forwarding reduces route lookup time and improves packet forwarding efficiency by using a high-speed cache and data-flow-based technology. It identifies a data flow by using the following fields: source IP address, source port number, destination IP address, destination port number, and protocol number. After a flow's first packet is forwarded through the routing table, fast forwarding creates an entry and uses the entry to forward subsequent packets of the flow.
Restrictions and guidelines: Fast forwarding configuration
Fast forwarding can process fragmented IP packets, but it does not fragment IP packets.
Configuring the aging time for fast forwarding entries
About aging time for fast forwarding entries
The fast forwarding table uses an aging timer for each forwarding entry. If an entry is not updated before the timer expires, the device deletes the entry. If an entry has a hit within the aging time, the aging timer restarts.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Configure the aging time for fast forwarding entries.
ip fast-forwarding aging-time aging-time
By default, the aging time is 30 seconds.
Configuring fast forwarding load sharing
About fast forwarding load sharing
Fast forwarding load sharing enables the device to identify a data flow by using the packet information.
If fast forwarding load sharing is disabled, the device identifies a data flow by the packet information and the input interface.
Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Configure fast forwarding load sharing. Choose one option as needed:
¡ Enable fast forwarding load sharing.
ip fast-forwarding load-sharing
¡ Disable fast forwarding load sharing.
undo ip fast-forwarding load-sharing
By default, fast forwarding load sharing is enabled.
Display and maintenance commands for fast forwarding
Execute display commands in any view and reset commands in user view.
