Configure the hash mode for Auto-LAGs
By default, the Auto-LAG feature is enabled and uses a hash mode that auto-configures
a LAG based on the destination MAC address, VLAN, EtherType, and incoming port in
the packet (that is, the hash mode with the name 2 Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming
port). You can change the hash mode (that is, the load balancing mode) for the Auto-LAG
feature.
The switch balances traffic on a LAG by selecting one of the links in the channel over
which packets must be transmitted. The switch selects the link by creating a binary
pattern from selected fields in a packet and associating that pattern with a particular
link. The hash mode determines which fields in a packet the switch selects.
