The link is selected by creating a binary pattern from selected fields in a packet, and
associating that pattern with a particular link:
• Src MAC,VLAN,EType,incoming port. Source MAC, VLAN, EtherType, and incoming
port associated with the packet.
• Dest MAC,VLAN,EType,incoming port. Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherT
ype, and
incoming port associated with the packet.
• Src/Dest MAC,VLAN,EType,incoming port. Source/Destination MAC, VLAN,
EtherT
ype, and incoming port associated with the packet. This option is the default.
• Src IP and Src TCP/UDP Port fields. Source IP and Source TCP/UDP fields of the
packet.
• Dest IP and
Dest TCP/UDP Port fields. Destination IP and Destination TCP/UDP Port
fields of the packet.
• Src/Dest IP
and TCP/UDP Port fields. Source/Destination IP and source/destination
TCP/UDP Port fields of the packet.
• Enhanced Hashing Mode. Features MODULO-N operation based on the number of
ports in the LAG, non-unicast traf
fic and unicast traf
fic hashing using a common hash
algorithm, excellent load balancing performance, and packet attributes selection
based on the packet type:
- For L2 packets, source and destination MAC address are used for hash
computation.
- For L3 packets, source IP
, destination IP address,
TCP/UDP ports are used.
14. Use the Port Selection Table to select the ports as members of the LAG.

Multiple Registration Protocol Overview
Like 802.1AS, Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is an audio video bridging (AVB) feature
that is available on some FASTPATH platforms. MVR is a base registration protocol that
enables devices running an MRP application to register attributes to other devices in a
network. MRP provides an application to register attributes such as bandwidth for a given AV
stream and MAC address information. It is used by various applications to propagate the
registration. Blade switches support the following MRP applications:
• Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP). MMRP allows for the propagation MAC
address information in the network, and allows for the registration and deregistration of
both individual MAC address information and group MAC address membership. End
stations can request to join or leave a multicast group, or to register an individual MAC
address with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and
deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the switch.
• Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP). MVRP registers VLANs in the network,
enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the switch. In a typical network, VLAN tagging
is common. Many nodes require ingress traf
fic to be tagged with a specific VLAN ID, and
