Specifying the Load Distribution Method
The load distribution method defines how the switch distributes the traffic
among the ports of a trunk. The command for this is the PORT-CHANNEL
LOAD-BALANCE command, in the Static Port Trunk Interface mode. The
command’s format is shown here:
port-channel load-balance dst-ip|dst-mac|src-dst-ip|
src-dst-mac|src-ip|src-mac
The variables are defined here:
src-mac Specifies source MAC address as the load distribution
method.
dst-mac Specifies destination MAC address.
src-dst-mac Specifies source address/destination MAC address.
src-ip Specifies source IP address.
dst-ip Specifies destination IP address.
src-dst-ip Specifies source address/destination IP address.
To enter the Static Port Trunk Interface mode, you use the INTERFACE
TRUNK command. You enter the INTERFACE keyword followed by the
name of the trunk. The name of the trunk consists of the prefix “sa” (for
static trunk) and the trunk’s ID number. (If you do not know the ID number
of the trunk, refer to “Displaying Static Port Trunks” on page 715.)
This example sets the load distribution method to destination MAC
address for a static port trunk that has the ID number 4:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface sa4
awplus(config-if)# port-channel load-balance dst-mac
