Hash Types

If you select the IEEE 802.3ad LACP or the XOR teaming mode, you must select which hash type option you want to use:

•Layer 2

•Layer 2+3 (uses Layer 2 and Layer 3 hash types simultaneously)

•Layer 3+4 (uses Layer 3 and Layer 4 hash types simultaneously)

Each hash type is described in the following table.
