a busy link will not take advantage of a non-busy link) and load balancing often works out best with powers of 2 number of links (although some later switches now distribute better over non-powers of 2 number of links). Some additional notes: a single flow will only use one link, loading is not dynamic (i.e. The 9500's default src-dest-port would probably be good for just UDP/TCP traffic.)īetween two hosts, you might look for something that uses IP UDP/IP port values too, but generally only Cisco's top line switches support that as an algorithm.
(NB: your WLC's default of src-mac might be a suboptimal choice. Or, both sides might use something like src-dest-mac or src-dest-ip.
#CISCO IOS XE SHOW ETHERCHANNEL INSTALL#
If the switch is currently using release 3 of IOS XE the commands for Install mode are different than Denali, IOS XE release 16. If the remote switch port is configured with desirable then only it will. The physical switch ports in PAgP can be configured in one of two available modes in PAgP: Auto Passively waits for PAgP to form. Configure PAgP EtherChannel in Cisco IOS Switch. The following list are helpful tips when managing IOS XE images in Install mode. In this post, I will show steps to Configure PAgP EtherChannel in Cisco IOS Switch. For example if on one side you have a server and and on the other side many hosts, the server side transmission might use dest-mac or dest-ip, and the hosts side transmission use src-mac or src-ip (generally, you're looking to avoid using the same attribute values for multiple flows). This output shows the switch running in BUNDLE mode. RPAccess: used for access to the router through protocols like SSH / SSL. RPControl: controls the control plane processes that interface between the IOS process and the rest of the platform. it doesn't matter what the receiving device uses for it's choice (except as already noted by Jon, you want what's optimal for its data sending).Īs to performance issues, again as already noted by Jon, that depends on what's "best" for the device transmitting. Cisco IOS XE consists of different sub packages that provide a specific function: RPBase: provides the operating system software for the route processor.
As already noted by Jon, the Etherchannel hashing algorithm is unique to the transmitting device, i.e.
