Load-Sharing Criteria For Link Aggregation Groups; Ethernet Link Aggregation Configuration Task List - HP 3600 v2 series Configuration Manual

NOTE:
A dynamic link aggregation group preferably sets full-duplex ports as the Selected ports, and will set
•
one, and only one, half-duplex port as a Selected port when none of the full-duplex ports can be
selected or only half-duplex ports exist in the group.
• To ensure 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.

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.
You can choose one of the following criteria or any combination for load sharing:
MAC addresses
•
Service port numbers
•
Ingress ports
•
IP addresses
•
• IP protocols
Alternatively, you can 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.
