Options include:
v Alternate address: The alternate hardware or MAC address used for the
aggregation. All addresses are twelve-digit hexadecimal numbers preceded
by 0x. A default value of 0x followed by 12 zeroes specifies that no alternate
address should be used.
v Enable Gigabit Ethernet jumbo frames: This specifies whether Ethernet jumbo
frames are enabled. If they are, then all adapter ports that are part of the link
aggregation must support Ethernet jumbo frames.
v Mode: This specifies the type of link aggregation you are using. The default
value is standard.
Valid values are:
– standard: standard EtherChannel is used. This means a hashing algorithm
is used to ensure that all packets to a single destination are sent in order.
– round_robin: EtherChannel will alternate packets among all adapters,
which may result in packets arriving out of order at their destination.
– 8023ad: This specifies that IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation is used.
v Hash mode: This specifies the hashing algorithm used to select the outgoing
adapter, when standard or 8023ad modes are selected. The default value is
default.
Valid values are:
