| Description | This object specifies the offset of the port in the segment
to be blocked for VLAN load balancing. Positive numbers
indicate the offset from the primary edge port and negative
numbers indicates the downstream neighbor from the secondary
edge port.
[Sw E1]E1---NE1[Sw 1]NE2---NE1[Sw 2]NE2.........
.
.
[Sw E2]E2---NE2[Sw N]NE1---NE2[Sw N-1]NE1.......
Sw : Switch.
E : Edge port.
NE : Non-Edge port.
E1/E2: Edge switches. E1 and E2 can either be same or
different switches.
In the segment depicted above, consider port E1 on 'Sw E1' is
the primary edge and E2 on 'Sw E2' is the secondary edge.
Value 1 for this object indicates primary edge port, 2 indicates
NE1 on 'Sw 1', 3 indicates NE2 on 'Sw 1' and so on. Value -1
indicates secondary edge port, -2 indicates NE2 on 'Sw N', -3
indicates NE1 on 'Sw N' and so on. Usage of value 0 is invalid.
This value is only effective on the device acting as the REP
primary edge and has relevance only if
crepLoadBalanceBlockPortType = 'offset'. |
