Load Balancing
Use the Interface > Trunk > Load Balance page to set the load-distribution method
used among ports in aggregated links.
Command Usage
â—† This command applies to all static and dynamic trunks on the switch.
â—† 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:
â–
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.
â–
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.
â–
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.
