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.

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.
