port-channel load-balance
This command selects the load-balancing option used on a port-channel (LAG). Trac is balanced on a
port-channel (LAG) by selecting one of the links in the channel over which to transmit specific packets.
The link is selected by creating a binary pattern from selected fields in a packet, and associating that
pattern with a particular link.
Load-balancing is not supported on every device. The range of options for load-balancing may vary per
device.
This command can be configured for a single interface, a range of interfaces, or all interfaces. Instead of
unit/slot/port, lag lag-intf-num can be used as an alternate way to specify the LAG interface. lag lag-
intf-num can also be used to specify the LAG interface where lag-intf-num is the LAG port number.
