Using Load-Sharing Criteria For Link-Aggregation Groups; Using The Ethernet Link-Aggregation Configuration Task List; Configuring An Aggregation Group - HP A5830 Configuration Manual

To make sure stable aggregation state and service continuity, do not change port attributes or class-two
configurations on any member port.
In a dynamic aggregation group, when the aggregation state of a local port changes, the aggregation
state of the peer port changes.
A port that joins a dynamic aggregation group after the Selected port limit has been reached is placed in
the Selected state if it is more eligible for being selected than a current member port.

Using load-sharing criteria for link-aggregation groups

In a link-aggregation group, traffic can be load-shared across the selected member ports based on a set
of criteria, depending on your configuration.
Choose one of the following criteria or any combination for load sharing:
MAC addresses

Service port numbers

Ingress ports

IP addresses

IP protocols

Alternatively, let the system automatically choose link-aggregation load-sharing criteria based on packet
types (Layer 2, IPv4, or IPv6 for example) or configure the system to perform per-packet load sharing.
