Configuring load-sharing criteria for link aggregation groups

You can determine how traffic is load-shared across a link aggregation group by configuring load-sharing
criteria. The criteria can be service port numbers, IP addresses, MAC addresses, receiving ports, or any
combination.
The switch supports configuring global and group-specific aggregation load-sharing criteria. A link
aggregation group preferentially uses group-specific load-sharing criteria. If no group-specific load-
sharing criteria are available, the group uses the global load-sharing criteria.
Configuring the global link-aggregation load-sharing criteria
Follow these steps to configure global link-aggregation load-sharing criteria:
To do...
Enter system view
Configure the global link-
aggregation load-sharing
criteria
You can set the following global aggregation load-sharing criteria:
Source IP address

Destination IP address

Source MAC address

Destination MAC address

Source IP address and destination IP address

Source IP address and source port number

Destination IP address and destination port number

Use the command...
interface bridge-aggregation
interface-number
shutdown
Use the command...
system-view
link-aggregation load-sharing mode {
destination-ip | destination-mac |
destination-port | ingress-port |
source-ip | source-mac | source-port }
