Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
328
configure sharing address-based
configure sharing address-based [L2 | L2_L3 | L2_L3_L4 |L2_L3_CHK_SUM |
L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM | L3_L4]
Description
Configures the part of the packet examined by the switch when selecting the egress port for
transmitting link aggregation, or load-sharing, data. Includes IPv6 addresses with ExtremeWare XOS
version 11.2 and higher.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is L2.
Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see
enable
sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2 | L3 | L3_L4}]} {lacp}
.
This feature is available using the address-based load-sharing, or link aggregation, algorithm only. The
address-based load-sharing algorithm uses addressing information to determine which physical port in
the load-sharing group, or LAG, 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.
L2
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address.
L2_L3
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address plus the IP source and destination address.
L2_L3_L4
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination, plus the TCP source and destination
port number.
L2_L3_CHK_SUM
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination address, plus the IP check sum.
NOTE: This variable applies only to IPv4 addresses.
L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM
Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination
address, the IP source and destination, the TCP source and destination port
number, plus the IP check sum.
NOTE: This variable applies only to IPv4 addresses.
L3_L4
Specifies address-based link aggregation by Layer 3 IP plus Layer 4 port.
NOTE: This parameter is available only on the Summit X450a and X450e
series switches.
