Configuring Etherchannel Load Balancing - Cisco IE 3000 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring EtherChannels
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two ports as static-access ports in
VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet1/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable non-silent
Switch(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two ports as static-access ports in
VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet1/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active
Switch(config-if-range)# end

Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing

This section describes how to configure EtherChannel load balancing by using source-based or
destination-based forwarding methods. For more information, see the
Methods" section on page
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure EtherChannel load balancing. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 port-channel load-balance {dst-ip | dst-mac |
src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac | src-ip | src-mac}
Step 3
end
Step 4 show etherchannel load-balance
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure an EtherChannel load-balancing method.
The default is src-mac.
Select one of these load-distribution methods:
dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the destination-host IP
•
address.
dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the destination-host
•
MAC address of the incoming packet.
src-dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the
•
source-and-destination host-IP address.
src-dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the
•
source-and-destination host-MAC address.
src-ip—Load distribution is based on the source-host IP
•
address.
• src-mac—Load distribution is based on the source-MAC
address of the incoming packet.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
