Load-sharing criteria for link aggregation groups
In a link aggregation group, traffic can be load-shared across the selected member ports based on a set
of criteria, depending on your configuration.
You can choose one of the following criteria or any combination for load sharing:
• MAC addresses
• Service port numbers
• Ingress ports
• IP addresses
• IP protocols
• MPLS labels
Alternatively, you can let the system automatically choose link-aggregation load-sharing criteria based
on packet types (Layer 2, IPv4, MPLS, or IPv6 for example) or configure the system to perform per-packet
load sharing.

Configuring an aggregation group
You can choose to create a Layer 2 or Layer 3 link aggregation group depending on the ports to be
aggregated:
• To aggregate Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces, create a Layer 2 link aggregation group.
• To aggregate Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces, create a Layer 3 link aggregation group.
