Usage Guidelines
The valid load-balancing method values are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use the option that provides the balance criteria with the greatest variety in your configuration. For
example, if the traffic on a EtherChannel is going only to a single MAC address and you use the
destination MAC address as the basis of EtherChannel load balancing, the EtherChannel always chooses
the same link in that EtherChannel; using source addresses or IP addresses might result in better load
balancing.
Examples
This example shows how to set the load-balancing method to use the source IP:
switch(config)# port-channel load-balance ethernet source-ip
