Load Balancing configuration menu (root/config/load)
Load balancing builds on the Automatic Trunking functionality by specifying the path that
the data uses to flow between multiple switches. Users can manage the switch’s
aggregate bandwidth by manually distributing traffic across multiple cascade ports as
shown below. A cascade port is a port that is attached to another switch of the same
type and configured as a String or Tree Cascade Smart Setting. All data flows through
the primary cascade, unless the switch is configured differently.
Note: Cascade commands must be properly configured before load balancing will work.
