Load Balancing Mapping – Port Based
The port-based load balancing method is an explicit port assignment scheme. It
requires that all other ports are assigned to a specic link (trunk port) in the trunk.
When the switch receives a packet with a trunk destination, it will automatically
forward the packet to a trunk port based on the port it came from.
First select a trunk, then click its Port Based button on the right hand side of the
screen under Load Balancing Mapping. The Port Based Trunk Port Mapping for
Trunk x window will appear as shown below.
Click the radio buttons to map each port to one of the trunk ports. All assignments
must be completed before it will allow you to close the window. After that, the
status will display ‘ok’ on the right side of the Port Based button. If the status ‘not
yet’ is displayed, then the load-balancing mapping has not been completed.
