Usage Guidelines If the link partner to the switch is a physical learner that has the channel-group interface configuration
command set to auto or desirable, the switch automatically uses the load-distribution method based on
the source MAC address regardless of the configured load-distribution method.
If the link partner to the switch is a physical learner that has the channel-group interface configuration
command set to on, set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using the
port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command.
Examples
This example shows how to set the load-distribution method to dst-mac:
Switch(config)# port-channel load-balance dst-mac
You can verify your settings by entering the show etherchannel privileged EXEC command.
