Chapter 9 Configuring EtherChannels

Configuring Etherchannels

Verifying the LACP Transmit Rate

To verify the LACP control packet transmission rate, use the following show command:

Router# show lacp internal

Flags:	S - Device is requesting Slow LACPDUs
	F	-	Device is requesting Fast LACPDUs
	A	-	Device is in Active mode	P - Device is in Passive mode
Channel	group 5

			LACP port	Admin	Oper	Port	Port
Port	Flags	State	Priority	Key	Key	Number	State
Gi0/1	FA	bndl	32768	0xA	0xA	0x102	0x7D

Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing

To configure EtherChannel load balancing, complete the following steps:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router(config)# port-channel load-balance	Configures EtherChannel load balancing. The
	{src-mac dst-mac src-dst-mac src-ip	load-balancing keywords indicate the following
	dst-ip src-dst-ip src-port dst-port	information:
	src-dst-port}
		• dst-ip—Destination IP addresses
		• dst-mac—Destination MAC addresses
		• dst-port—Destination Layer 4 port
		• src-dst-ip—Source and destination IP addresses
		• src-dst-mac—Source and destination MAC
		addresses
		• src-dst-port—Source and destination Layer 4 port
		• src-ip—Source IP addresses
		• src-mac—Source MAC addresses
		• src-port—Source Layer 4 port
Step 2
	Router(config)# end	Exits configuration mode.
Step 3
	Router# show etherchannel load-balance	Verifies the configuration.

Configuration Examples

This example shows how to configure EtherChannel to use source and destination IP addresses:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip

Router(config)# end

Router(config)#

This example shows how to verify the configuration:

Router# show etherchannel load-balance

Source XOR Destination IP address
