Configuring Etherchannel Load Balancing - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring EtherChannel
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Switch# show lacp sys-id

The system priority is displayed first, followed by the MAC address of the switch.

Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing

Load balancing can only be configured globally. As a result, all channels (manually configured, PagP,
Note
or LACP) use the same load-balancing method.
To configure EtherChannel load balancing, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch(config)# [no] port-channel load-balance
{src-mac | dst-mac | src-dst-mac | src-ip |
dst-ip | src-dst-ip | src-port | dst-port |
src-dst-port}
Step 2
Switch(config)# end
Step 3
Switch# show etherchannel load-balance
The load-balancing keywords indicate these values:
•
•

This example shows how to configure EtherChannel to use source and destination IP addresses:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Switch# show etherchannel load-balance
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Configuration:
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Addresses Used Per-Protocol:
Non-IP: Source XOR Destination MAC address
IPv4: Source XOR Destination IP address
Software Configuration Guide—Release IOS XE 3.3.0SG and IOS 15.1(1)SG
