Specifying the Load Distribution Method

The load distribution method defines how the switch distributes the traffic

among the ports of a trunk. The command for this is the PORT-CHANNEL

LOAD-BALANCE command, in the Static Port Trunk Interface mode. The

command’s format is shown here:

port-channel load-balance dst-ip|dst-mac|src-dst-ip|

src-dst-mac|src-ip|src-mac

The variables are defined here:

src-mac Specifies source MAC address as the load distribution

method.

dst-mac Specifies destination MAC address.

src-dst-mac Specifies source address/destination MAC address.

src-ip Specifies source IP address.

dst-ip Specifies destination IP address.

src-dst-ip Specifies source address/destination IP address.

To enter the Static Port Trunk Interface mode, you use the INTERFACE

TRUNK command. You enter the INTERFACE keyword followed by the

name of the trunk. The name of the trunk consists of the prefix “sa” (for

static trunk) and the trunk’s ID number. (If you do not know the ID number

of the trunk, refer to “Displaying Static Port Trunks” on page 597.)

This example sets the load distribution method to destination MAC

address for a static port trunk that has the ID number 4:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface sa4

awplus(config-if)# port-channel load-balance dst-mac

For reference information, refer to “PORT-CHANNEL LOAD-BALANCE”

on page 601.
