3. Examine the trunking information on each switch using the following command:
Information about each port in each configured trunk group will be displayed. Make sure that trunk
groups consist of the expected ports and that each port is in the expected state.
Configurable Trunk Hash Algorithm
The GbE2c allows you to change the parameters for the trunk hash algorithm. Use the Trunk Hash
menu (/cfg/l2/thash) to configure new default behavior for Layer 2 traffic and Layer 3 traffic.
The trunk hash settings affect both static trunks and LACP trunks.
You can select a minimum of one or a maximum of two parameters to create one of the following
configurations:
Source IP (SIP)
Destination IP (DIP)
Source MAC (SMAC)
Destination MAC (DMAC)
Source IP (SIP) + Destination IP (DIP)
Source MAC (SMAC) + Destination MAC (DMAC)
