• 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:
• dst-ip: 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.
• dst-mac: 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.
• src-dst-ip: All traffic with the same source and 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 received from and destined for many different hosts.
• src-dst-mac: All traffic with the same source and 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 received from and destined for many different hosts.
• src-ip: All traffic with the same source IP address is output on the same link in a trunk. This
mode works best for switch-to-router or switch-to-server trunk links where traffic through
the switch is received from many different hosts.
• src-mac: All traffic with the same source 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 received from many different hosts.
