method used among ports in aggregated links.
CLI R EFERENCES
◆ "port channel load-balance" on page 1018
C OMMAND U SAGE
◆ This command applies to all static and dynamic trunks on the switch.
◆ To ensure that the switch traffic load is distributed evenly across all
links in a trunk, select the source and destination addresses used in the
load-balance calculation to provide the best result for trunk
connections:
■
Destination IP Address: All traffic with the same destination IP
address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best
for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through the switch is
destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-
to-server trunk links where the destination IP address is the same
for all traffic.
■
Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same destination
MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works
best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the
switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode
for switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address
is the same for all traffic.
