2 - Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, source module and port Id
3 - Source IP and source TCP/UDP port
4 - Destination IP and destination TCP/UDP port
5 - Source/Destination MAC, VLAN, EtherType, source MODID/port
6 - Source/Destination IP and source/destination TCP/UDP port
7 - Enhanced hashing mode
All configured port channels on the switch can be seen by using the show interfaces port-channel
command.
Note: Enhanced hashing mode offers excellent load balancing performance. It is the default (and
recommended) hash type for N2000, N3000 and N4000 Series switches (i.e. all the N-Series switches
except the N1500 series). Consult the N-Series User Guide for more information on each type of hash
algorithm listed above.
2.4.2 Configuring Multiple LAGs — Cisco Catalyst
This section covers setting up an additional port channel on the Cisco 6504-E. The interface port-channel 13
is configured and a description added. Then, the port is activated as a switchport trunk with encapsulation
dot1Q enabled. The port channel is then removed from the administrative shutdown state.
The 10 Gbps ports 2/3 and 2/4 are configured as switchports to port channel 13 and LACP is enabled. The
ports are then removed from the shutdown state. A show command is used to verify Ethernet port
participation.
