port channel load-balance
This command sets the load-distribution method among ports in aggregated links
(for both static and dynamic trunks). Use the no form to restore the default setting.
Syntax
port channel load-balance {dst-ip | dst-mac | src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac |
src-ip | src-mac}
no port channel load-balance
• dst-ip - Load balancing based on destination IP address.
• dst-mac - Load balancing based on destination MAC address.
• src-dst-ip - Load balancing based on source and destination IP address.
• src-dst-mac - Load balancing based on source and destination MAC
address.
• src-ip - Load balancing based on source IP address.
• src-mac - Load balancing based on source MAC address.
Default Setting
src-dst-ip

Global Configuration
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:
- dst-ip: 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.
- dst-mac: 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.
- src-dst-mac: All traffic with the same source and 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 received from
and destined for many different hosts.
