• Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same destination MAC address is output on
the same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic
through the switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for
switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address is the same for all traffic.
• Source and Destination IP Address: All traffic with the same source and destination IP
address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router
trunk links where traffic through the switch is received from and destined for many
different hosts.
• Source and Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same source and destination
MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best for
switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the switch is received from and destined
for many different hosts.
• Source IP Address: All traffic with the same source IP address is output on the same link in
a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router or switch-to-server trunk links where
traffic through the switch is received from many different hosts.
• Source MAC Address: All traffic with the same source MAC address is output on the same
link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through
the switch is received from many different hosts.
