Specify Traffic Distribution Policy (Optional)
The default policy for distributing traffic across the ports in a SmartTRUNK is “round-
robin,” where the SSR selects the port on a rotating basis. The other policy that can be
chosen is “link-utilization,” where packets are sent to the least-used port in a
SmartTRUNK. You can choose to specify the link-utilization policy for a particular
SmartTRUNK, a list of SmartTRUNKs, or for all SmartTRUNKs on the SSR.
