Weighted Flow Distribution on Multiport Interfaces

If you do not want the flow to be balanced across all of the specified ports, but instead want the current port to be fully loaded before adding the next port, use Weighted Multiport Interfaces (WMPIFs). WMPIFs are configured in the same way as MPIFs except the commands use WMPIF instead of MPIF.

The commands are: define wmpif, show wmpif and delete wmpif. For example, to define a WMPIF similar to the MPIF shown in the above example, you enter the following command:

In this case, when port 8 is running at full line rate, port 9 will be opened. When port 9 is running at full line rate, port 10 will be opened and so forth.
