User Guidelines
Enhanced hashing mode is recommended, however, depending on the
specific traffic patterns present in the network, a different hashing mode may
give better bandwidth distribution across the LAG member links. Use the
show interfaces utilization command to view link utilization.

console(config)#interface port-channel l
console(config-if-po1)#hashing-mode 4
console(config-if-po1)#no hashing mode
