You can use the command "show route forwarding-table" to check load balancing. The "ulst" forwarding table designation is used to indicate that load balancing isworking correctly. The "ulst" value indicates a list of unicast next hops. A packet sent to this next hop goes to any next hop in the list.
When a forwarding table is displayed, the designation that indicates load balancing is working correctly is "mlst," which stands for "multipath last."
Load balancing is a feature that enables the distribution of traffic across multiple paths or links in a network. In this way, network resources are utilized efficiently, and congestion is minimized.
When load balancing is working correctly, multiple next-hop addresses are associated with a single route in the forwarding table, and the "mlst" designation is shown for that route. This indicates that the router is using all available paths to forward traffic to the destination.
The other designations mentioned in the answer choices do not relate to load balancing. "ucst" refers to unicast routes, while "msct" and "ulst" are not valid designations for forwarding table entries. Therefore, the correct answer is D, "mlst."
