Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 - Manual (Page 444)

NOTE
When configuring load balancing on a Brocade VDX 6710, Brocade VDX 6720, Brocade VDX 6730, or
Brocade VDX 6740, it should be configured consistently for all port-channels on the switch. These
switches support one load-balancing scheme at a time, and apply the last loaded load-balancing
scheme to all port-channels on the switch. This is not required for the Brocade VDX 8770 platform, as
it supports multiple port-channel load-balancing schemes.
The following example sets the flavor to "destination MAC address and VID-based load balancing."
switch(config)# rbridge-id 2
switch(config-rbridge-id-2)# fabric port-channel 20 load-balance dst-mac-vid
switch(config-rbridge-id-2)# end
switch# show running-config rbridge-id 2
rbridge-id 2
interface-nodespecific ns-vlan 10
interface-nodespecific ns-ethernet 100
fabric vlag 10 load-balance src-dst-mac-vid
fabric vlag 20 load-balance dst-mac-vid
no protocol vrrp
switch# show fabric port-channel load-balance 10
