When the LAG is disabled, no traffic flows and LACPDUs are dropped, but the links that
form the LAG are not released. The factory default is Enable.
Use Hash Mode to select the load-balancing mode used on a port-channel (LAG).
8.
Traffic is balanced on a port-channel (LAG) by selecting one of the links in the channel
over which to transmit specific packets. The link is selected by creating a binary pattern
from selected fields in a packet, and associating that pattern with a particular link:
Src MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port. Source MAC, VLAN, EtherType, and
•
incoming port associated with the packet.
Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port. Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, and
•
incoming port associated with the packet.
Src/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port. Source/Destination MAC, VLAN,
•
EtherType, and incoming port associated with the packet. Src/Dest MAC, VLAN,
EType, incoming port is the default.
Src IP and Src TCP/UDP Port fields. Source IP and Source TCP/UDP fields of the
•
packet.
Dest IP and Dest TCP/UDP Port fields. Destination IP and Destination TCP/UDP Port
•
fields of the packet.
Src/Dest IP and TCP/UDP Port Fields. Source/Destination IP and source/destination
•
TCP/UDP Port fields of the packet.
Enhanced hashing Mode. Features MODULO-N operation based on the number of
•
ports in the LAG, non-unicast traffic and unicast traffic hashing using a common hash
algorithm, excellent load balancing performance, and packet attributes selection
based on the packet type:
For L2 packets, source and destination MAC address are used for hash
•
computation.
For L3 packets, source IP, destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports are used.
•
Use STP Mode to enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol administrative mode

associated with the LAG.
The possible values are as follows:
Disable. Spanning tree is disabled for this LAG.
•
Enable. Spanning tree is enabled for this LAG. Enable is the default.
•
Use Static Mode to select Enable or Disable.
10.
When the LAG is enabled, it does not transmit or process received LACPDUs that is, the
member ports do not transmit LACPDUs and all the LACPDUs it can receive are
dropped. The factory default is Disable.
Use Link Trap to specify whether to send a trap when the link status changes.
11.
The factory default is Enable, which causes the trap to be sent.
Use Local Preference Mode to Enable or Disable the LAG interface's local preference
12.
mode.
The default is Disable.
