data link provided by an SFP transceiver in switch #2.
Figure 41. Load Distribution Method
Assume that you configured the port trunk on switch #1 with the source
MAC address load distribution method. The switch might distribute the
load as shown in Table 1.
For example, when workstation B sends a packet to the server, switch #1
uses port 15 of the trunk to transmit it to switch #2.
An assignment of a source address to a port trunk remains active as long
as the source node remains active. If the MAC address times out, the
assignment is dropped. If the source node becomes active again and
needs to transmit a packet over the trunk, a new assignment is made,
either to the same port or to a different port in the trunk.
