Syntax
load-balancing { balanced | prioritized | random }
balanced
LNS selection is made without regard to prioritization, but in a sequential order that balances the load across
the total number of LNS nodes available.
the total number of LNS nodes available.
prioritized
LNS selection is made based on the priority assigned in the Tunnel-Preference attribute. An example of this
method is three LNS nodes, with preferences of 1, 2, and 3 respectively. In this example, the RADIUS server
always tries the tunnel with a preference of 1 before using any of the other LNS nodes.

Usage
Use this command to configure the load-balancing algorithm that defines how the LNS node is selected by
the LAC when there are multiple peer LNSs configured in the LAC service.
