Command History

Usage Guidelines For information about when to use these forwarding methods, see the “Configuring EtherChannels”

chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

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 setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command or the

show etherchannel load-balance privileged EXEC command.

dst-ip Load distribution is based on the destination host IP address.

dst-mac Load distribution is based on the destination host MAC address. Packets to the same

destination are sent on the same port, but packets to different destinations are sent on

different ports in the channel.

src-dst-ip Load distribution is based on the source and destination host IP address.

src-dst-mac Load distribution is based on the source and destination host MAC address.

src-ip Load distribution is based on the source host IP address.

src-mac Load distribution is based on the source MAC address. Packets from different hosts use

different ports in the channel, but packets from the same host use the same port.
