Select src-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a packet’s 
source IP address into a hash value which acts as an index to a route path. 

Select src-dst-ip to have the Switch use a hash algorithm to convert a 
packet’s source and destination IP addresses into a hash value which acts 
as an index to a route path.

volatile memory when you are done configuring.
