Load Balancing
Use the Interface > Trunk > Load Balance page to set the load-distribution method
used among ports in aggregated links.
Command Usage
◆ 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.
