CoreXL Dynamique Dispatcher in vsx R80.20

[DZ_KB]

Hi,

I have a question on CoreXL and dynamique dispatcher on VSX Cluster.

On my cluster GW in vsx mode (R80.20) coreXL is disable but dynamique dispatcher is enable (see below).

What does it mean ?

Does it means that we don't need to enable CoreXL in order to dynamically loadbalance traffic between cores ?

Does it means that loadbalancing traffic between cores does't work ?

Thanks for your help guys.

Regards.

You can safely ignore the fact CoreXL is not "on" with VSX as you assign each VS a number of cores.

Hi @PhoneBoy ,

Thank you for your reply.

Does your reply is the same for non VSX cluster ?

In a non-VSX cluster, CoreXL should be on for dynamic dispatcher to apply.
Believe it is on by default from R80.10.
