port-channel load-balance [dst-mac | src-mac]
Use the port-channel load-balance command to configure port aggregation load distribution. Use the no
form of this command to reset distribution to its default.
Syntax Description
dst-mac Specifies the destination MAC address.
src-mac Specifies the source MAC address.
Default Values
By default, load balance is set to src-mac.
Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000, and 1000R Series units.
Command History
Release 5.1 Command was introduced.
Functional Notes
During port aggregation, the port channel interface must determine on which physical port to transmit
packets. With the source-address configuration, the source MAC address of the received packets is used
to determine this allocation. Packets coming from a specific host always use the same physical port.
Likewise, when the destination address configuration is used, packets are forwarded based on the MAC
address of the destination. Packets destined for a specific host always use the same physical port.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the load distribution to use the destination MAC address:
(config)# port-channel load-balance dst-mac
