In an IRF, if the egress port for packets that enter a device is an aggregate interface, and the member 

ports of the corresponding link aggregation group are located on the current device as well as on other 

member devices of the IRF, the packets will be load-shared among the link aggregation member ports 

on the current member device only. If the current device does not have ports that belong to the link 

aggregation group, the packets will be load-shared among all the link aggregation member ports. This 

mechanism is called local-first load sharing. It can reduce the impact of traffic on the links connecting 

member devices of a IRF. If this mechanism is absent, traffic will always be load-shared among all the 

link aggregation member ports located on different member devices of the IRF. 

For details about IRF, see IRF in the System Volume. 

Follow these steps to configure the local-first load sharing mechanism for link aggregation: 

Enter system view 

— 

Configure the local-first 
load-sharing mechanism for 
link aggregation 

link-aggregation load-sharing mode 
local-first 

Optional 

The local-first 
load-sharing mode takes 
effect by default.
