Configuring the Cajun Switch Using the P550/P880 Manager

2-15

All ports in a hunt group must be the same speed.

Packets arriving on different fabric ports within the switch
have more evenly balanced loads.

Hunt groups do not load share if the source and destination
traffic and the hunt group ports are on the same fabric port.
Most I/O modules divide their ports evenly across two fabric
ports. For 10-port and 12-port I/O modules, all ports use a
single fabric port.

The first port assigned to a hunt group becomes the flood
port. It can not be changed unless the flood port is disabled.
