Hint§

The switch provides five load-balancing methods to distribute a balanced load across all links in a trunk. The following parameters are displayed on the Trunk Distribution Algorithm Setting:

■Distribution Algorithm Parameters—To ensure the switch traffic load is distributed evenly across all links in a trunk, the hash methods used in the load-balance calculation can be selected to provide the best result for trunk connections. The following options are supported:

■Source Port - All traffic with the same source and destination TCP/UDP port number is output on the same link in a trunk. Avoid using his mode as a lone option. It may overload a single port member of the trunk for application traffic of a specific type, such as web browsing. However, it can be used effectively in combination with the IP Address option.

■Source MAC - All traffic with the same source 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 many

different hosts.
