COMMAND USAGE
When incoming data frames are forwarded through the switch to a trunk,
the switch must determine to which port link in the trunk an outgoing
frame should be sent. To maintain the frame sequence of various traffic
flows between devices in the network, the switch also needs to ensure that
frames in each “conversation” are mapped to the same trunk link. To
achieve this requirement and to distribute a balanced load across all links
in a trunk, the switch uses a hash algorithm to calculate an output link
number in the trunk. However, depending on the device to which a trunk is
connected and the traffic flows in the network, this load-balance algorithm
may result in traffic being distributed mostly on one port in a trunk. To
ensure that the switch traffic load is distributed evenly across all links in a
trunk, the hash method used in the load-balance calculation can be
selected to provide the best result for trunk connections.
