Command History

Release 5.1 Command was introduced.

Functional Notes

During port aggregation, the port channel interface must determine on which phys ical port to transmit

packets. With the source-address configuration, the source MAC address of the received packets is used

to determine this allocation. Packets coming from a specific host always use the same physical port.

Likewise, when the destination address configuration is used, p ackets are forwarded based on the MAC

address of the destination. Packets destined for a specific host always use the same physical port.

Usage Examples

The following example sets the load distribution to use the destination MAC address:

(config)# port-channel load-balance ds t-mac
