Use the Interface > Trunk > Load Balance page to set the load-distribution

method used among ports in aggregated links.

"port channel load-balance" on page 846

This command applies to all static and dynamic trunks on the switch.

To ensure that the switch traffic load is distributed evenly across all

links in a trunk, select the source and destination addresses used in the

load-balance calculation to provide the best result for trunk

connections:

Destination IP Address: All traffic with the same destination IP

address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best

for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through the switch is

destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-

to-server trunk links where the destination IP address is the same

for all traffic.

Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same destination

MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works

best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the

switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode

for switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address

is the same for all traffic.

Source and Destination IP Address: All traffic with the same

source and destination IP address is output on the same link in a

trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router trunk links where

traffic through the switch is received from and destined for many

different hosts.

Source and Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same

source and destination MAC address is output on the same link in a

trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where

traffic through the switch is received from and destined for many

different hosts.

Source IP Address: All traffic with the same source IP address is

output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best for

switch-to-router or switch-to-server trunk links where traffic

through the switch is received from many different hosts.

Source MAC Address: All traffic with the same source MAC

address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best

for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the switch is

received from many different hosts.
