Command Reference Aggregate Port Commands
3 Aggregate Port Commands
3.1 aggregateport load-balance
Use this command to configure a global load-balance algorithm for aggregate ports or a load-balance
algorithm for an aggregate port . Use the no form of this command to return the default setting.
aggregateport load-balance { dst-mac | src-mac | src-dst-mac | dst-ip | src-ip | src-dst ip }
no aggregateport load-balance
Load balance based on the destination MAC addresses of the incoming packets.
For all the links of an aggregate port, the messages with the same destination MAC
addresses are sent to the same port, and those with different destination MAC
addresses are sent to different ports.
Load balance based on the source MAC addresses of the incoming packets. For all
the links of an aggregate port, the messages from different addresses are
distributed to different ports, and those from the same addresses are distributed to
the same port.
Load balance based on the source IP address and destination IP address. Packets
with different source and destination IP address pairs are forwarded through
different ports. The packets with the same source and destination IP address pairs
are forwarded through the same links. At layer 3, this load balancing style is
recommended.
Load balance based on the destination IP addresses of the incoming packets. For
all the links of an aggregate port, the messages with the same destination IP
addresses are sent to the same port, and those with different destination IP
addresses are sent to different ports.
Load balance based on the source IP addresses of the incoming packets. For all
the links of an aggregate port, the messages from different addresses are
distributed to different ports, and those from the same addresses are distributed to
the same port.
Load balance based on the source and destination MAC addresses. Packets with
different source and destination MAC address pairs are forwarded through different
ports. The packets with the same source and destination MAC address pairs are
forwarded through the same port.
Load balancing can be based on source and destination MAC addresses, source and destination IP
addresses (applicable to gateways), or the profile of enhanced load balancing (applicable to switches
with CB line cards).
