2.6.1.2 Setting the Manual Load Balancing Mode

Context
Link aggregation can work in manual load balancing mode and LACP mode.
In manual load balancing mode, you must manually create an Eth-Trunk and add member
interfaces to the Eth-Trunk. All active links forward data and evenly load balance traffic. The
manual load balancing mode mode is used when the peer device does not support LACP.
Before changing the working mode of an Eth-Trunk, ensure that the Eth-Trunk contains no
member interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface eth-trunk trunk-id
The Eth-Trunk interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
mode manual load-balance
A working mode of the Eth-Trunk is configured.
By default, an Eth-Trunk works in manual load balancing mode.

5. (Optional) Run:
mtu mtu
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the Eth-Trunk is set.
The default MTU of an interface is 1500 bytes.
NOTICE
l The mtu command cannot be used on Layer 2 Eth-Trunks.
l Directly connected interfaces must use the same MTU. If you change the MTU of
a local interface, you must use the mtu command to change the MTU of the remote
interface to be the same value; otherwise, services may be interrupted.
l After changing the MTU on an interface, run the shutdown command and then
the undo shutdown command on the interface to make the setting take effect.
