Maestro allows you to define the distribution mode per interface, which determines how traffic is distributed among the Security Group Modules (SGMs) in a Security Group. You can configure the distribution mode for each interface individually, or use the default mode for all interfaces. The distribution mode can be set for both uplink and downlink interfaces.
The asg calc command is a tool to show which SGM is selected to receive traffic based on the distribution mode and the packet parameters. It takes the port number, the source IP, the destination IP, and optionally the source port and the destination port as arguments and returns the SGM ID and the hash value. For example, asg calc 1 10.0.0.1 20.0.0.2 1234 80 will show which SGM will receive the traffic from 10.0.0.1:1234 to 20.0.0.2:80 on port 1.
