> # Enabling the Global Policy for Disruptive Load Balancing

> Disruptive load balancing allows you to review the load on all the external interfaces and balance the load disruptively. Disruptive load balancing is done by moving the servers using heavily loaded external interfaces, to the external interfaces running with fewer loads.

> ## Detailed Steps

> To enable disruptive load balancing using DCNM-SAN, perform the following tasks:

> 1. Choose Physical Attributes > Switches > FC Services > N_Port Virtualizer (NPV).
> 2. Click the Load Balance tab.
> 3. Check the Enable check box to enable disruptive load balancing on the switch.

> To enable disruptive load balancing on all the switches, check the Enable All check box.
