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.
To change the hash mode for the Auto-LAGs:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching > LAG > LAG Configuration.
The LAG Configuration page displays.
6. In the LAG Global Configuration section, from the Auto-LAG Global Hash Mode
menu, select the hash mode for the Auto-LAGs:
• 1 Src MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port: Source MAC address, VLAN, EtherType,
and incoming port associated with the packet.
• 2 Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port: Destination MAC address, VLAN,
EtherType, and incoming port associated with the packet. This is the default mode.
• 3 Src/Dest MAC, VLAN, EType, incoming port: Source and destination MAC
addresses, VLAN, EtherType, and incoming port associated with the packet.
• 4 Src IP and Src TCP/UDP Port fields: Source IP address and source TCP/UDP
port fields of the packet.
• 5 Dest IP and Dest TCP/UDP Port fields: Destination IP address and destination
TCP/UDP port fields of the packet.
