L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM]
Description
Configures the part of the packet examined by the switch when selecting the egress port for
transmitting link aggregation, or load-sharing, data. Includes IPv6 addresses with ExtremeWare XOS
version 11.2 and higher.

L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM
Default
The default setting is L2.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see
sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2|L3}]}
{lacp}.
This feature is available using the address-based load-sharing, or link aggregation, algorithm only. The
address-based load-sharing algorithm uses addressing information to determine which physical port in
the load-sharing group, or LAG, to use for forwarding traffic out of the switch. Addressing information
is based on the packet protocol, as follows:
IP packets—Uses the source and destination MAC and IP address, and the TCP port number.
●
All other packets—Uses the source and destination MAC address.
●
306
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address.
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address plus the IP source and destination address.
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination, plus the TCP source and destination
port number.
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination address, plus the IP check sum.
NOTE: This variable applies only to IPv4 addresses.
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination, the TCP source and destination port
number, plus the IP check sum.
