Load sharing for unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic
Dell PowerConnect devices load balance unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic based
on the source port and VLAN ID and not on any source or destination information in the packet.
For example, when the switch receives unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast packets, and
the packets are from the same source port, the packets are forwarded to the same port of the
trunk group. Conversely, when the switch receives unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast
packets, and the packets are from different source ports, the packets are load-balanced across all
the ports of the trunk group.
Note that this does not apply to known unicast traffic, which is always load balanced across all the
ports of a trunk group based on the traffic's Layer 2 and Layer 3 source and destination
parameters.
How trunk load sharing works
The load balancing method for
bridged traffic
varies depending on the traffic type. Load balancing
for
routed traffic
is always based on the source and destination IP addresses and protocol field (not
applicable for FastIron Stackable devices).
NOTE
Table 72
do not include unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic. Refer to
“Load sharing
for unknown unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic”
.
Table 72
describes how the FastIron Stackable devices load balance traffic.
Adding Layer 2 information to trunk hash output
FastIron Stackable devices support the option to include Layer 2 information in the trunk hash
calculation for IP packets. Use the following CLI command.
PowerConnect(config)# trunk hash-options include-layer2
This command adds Layer 2 information (text in bold) to the following load-balancing parameters.
1. Non-IP: Source MAC, Destination MAC
2. IPv4 TCP/UDP: Source IP, Destination IP, Source TCP/UDP Port, Destination TCP/UDP Port,
Source MAC, Destination MAC
3. IPv4 Non-TCP/UDP: Source IP, Destination IP, Source MAC, Destination MAC
