VPLS and capture SAP considerations

VPLS environment in conjunction with ESM allows hashing based on destination MAC address. This is achieved through the following CLI hierarchy:

configure
  service vpls <vpls-id>
    sap lag-<id>
sub-sla-mgmt
  mac-da-hashing

Note that this is only applicable to Layer 2 ESM. In the case where this is configured and Vport hashing is required, the following order of evaluation must be executed:

  1. Hashing based on subscriber-id or inter-dest-string

  2. If configured, mac-da-hashing

Hashing per inter-dest-string wins if a <Vport, subscriber> association is available at the same time as the mac-da-hashing is configured.

The Mac-da-hashing mechanism cannot transition from a capture SAP to a derived MSAP.
