ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 249
configure sharing address-based
configure sharing address-based [L2 | L2_L3 | L2_L3_L4]
Description
Configures the part of the packet examined by the switch when selecting the egress port for
transmitting load-sharing data.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This feature is available using the address-based load-sharing algorithm only. The address-based
load-sharing algorithm uses addressing information to determine which physical port in the
load-sharing group to use for forwarding traffic out of the switch. Addressing information is based on
the packet protocol, as follows:
• IP packets—Uses the source and destination MAC and IP address, and the TCP port number.
• IPX packets—Uses the source and destination MAC address and IPX identifiers.
• All other packets—Uses the source and destination MAC address.
To verify your configuration, use the show sharing address-based command. The show sharing
address-based output displays the addressed-based configurations on the switch.
Example
The following example configures the switch to examine the MAC source and destination address:
configure sharing address-based l2
