Frame Distribution Methods in Link Aggregation
How frames are distributed across physical ports that make up an aggregation group are determined by the contents of a
frame (source and destination MAC addresses).
There are 6 ways to specify how frames are distributed:
•
Frame distribution based on destination MAC address (da-mac)
The destination port is determined based on the destination MAC address of the frames.
•
Frame distribution based on source MAC address (sa-mac)
The destination port is determined based on the source MAC address of the frames.
•
Frame distribution based on destination and source MAC addresses (both-mac)
The destination port is determined based on the destination and source MAC addresses of the frames.
•
Frame distribution based on destination IP address (da-ip)
The destination port is determined based on the destination IP address of the frames.
•
Frame distribution based on source IP address (sa-ip)
The destination port is determined based on the source IP address of the frames.
•
Frame distribution based on destination and source IP addresses (both-ip)
The destination port is determined based on the destination and source IP addresses of the frames.
To set a distribution method, carry out the following procedure in "admin" Operation mode.
XG2600# configure
XG2600(config)# ether 1-8 type linkaggregation 1
XG2600(config)# linkaggregation 1 algorithm both-mac
XG2600(config)# commit
XG2600(config)# save
XG2600(config)# exit
