Adaptive Routing

The nv unset commands remove the configuration you set with the equivalent nv set commands. This guide only describes an nv unset command if it differs from the nv set command.

nv set interface <interface-id> router adaptive-routing

Provides commands to configure adaptive routing on the specified interface. Adaptive routing is a load balancing feature that improves network utilization for eligible IP packets by selecting forwarding paths dynamically based on the state of the switch, such as queue occupancy and port utilization.

Cumulus Linux 5.6 supports adaptive routing on Spectrum-4. Cumulus Linux 5.5 and earlier supports adaptive routing on Spectrum-3 and Spectrum-2 as a beta feature for evaluation.


nv set interface <interface-id> router adaptive-routing enable

Turns adaptive routing on the specified interface on or off. The default setting is off.

  • Adaptive routing does not make use of resilient hashing.
  • Cumulus Linux does not support adaptive routing on layer 3 subinterfaces, SVIs, bonds or bond members.

NVUE must restart switchd to apply the setting.

nv set router adaptive-routing

Provides commands to configure adaptive routing globally on the switch. Adaptive routing is a load balancing feature that improves network utilization for eligible IP packets by selecting forwarding paths dynamically based on the state of the switch, such as queue occupancy and port utilization.


nv set router adaptive-routing enable

Turns adaptive routing on or off globally. The default setting is off.

NVUE restarts switchd to apply the setting.
