Usage Guidelines
This feature is available using the address-based load-sharing algorithm only. The address-based
load-sharing algorithm uses addressing information to determine which physical port in the
load-sharing group to use for forwarding traffic out of the switch. Addressing information is based on
the packet protocol, as follows:
• IP packets—Uses the source and destination MAC and IP address, and the TCP port number.
• IPX packets ( on “ i ” series only ) —Uses the source and destination MAC address and IPX identifiers.
• All other packets—Uses the source and destination MAC address.
To verify your configuration, use the
show sharing address-based
command. The show sharing
address-based output displays the addressed-based configurations on the switch.
Example
The following example displays the address-based load sharing configuration on the switch:
show sharing address-based
Following is the output from this command:
Sharing address-based = L2_L3_L4
