Load Sharing on the Switch
3-8
To define a load-sharing group, you assign a group of ports to a
single, logical port number. To enable or disable a load-sharing
group, use the following commands:
enable sharing grouping
disable sharing
Load-Sharing
Example
The following example defines a load-sharing group that contains
ports 9 through 12, and uses the first port in the group as the master
logical port 9:
enable sharing 9 grouping 9-12
In this example, logical port 9 represents physical ports 9 through 12.
When using load sharing, you should always reference the master
logical port of the load-sharing group (port 9 in the previous
example) when configuring or viewing VLANs. VLANs configured to
use other ports in the load-sharing group will have those ports
deleted from the VLAN when load sharing becomes enabled.
