3.1.2 Understanding
Traffic
Balancing
Traffic can be evenly distributed on the member links of an AP according to the
features such as source MAC address, destination MAC address, combination
of source MAC address and destination MAC address, source IP address,
destination IP address, and combination of source IP address and destination
IP address. The aggregateport load-balance command can be used to set the
method to distribute traffic.
Source MAC address-based traffic balancing refers to distribute the traffic on
the member links of an AP according to the source MAC addresses of packets.
Those packets with different source MAC addresses are evenly distributed on
the member links of an AP according to different source MAC addresses. Those
packets with the same source MAC address are forwarded through the same
member link.
Destination MAC address-based traffic balancing refers to distribute the traffic
on the member links of an AP according to the destination MAC addresses of
packets. Those packets with different destination MAC addresses are evenly
distributed on the member links of an AP according to different destination MAC
addresses. Those packets with the same destination MAC address are
forwarded through the same member link.
The traffic balancing based on the combination of source MAC address and
destination MAC address refers to distribute the traffic on the member links of
an AP according to the combination of source MAC address and destiantion
MAC address of packets. Those packets with different source and destination
MAC addresses are evenly distributed on the member links of an AP according
to different source and destination MAC addresses. Those packets with the
same source and destination MAC address are distributed on the same
member link.
Source IP address- or destination IP address-based traffic balancing refers to
distribute the traffic on the member links of an AP according to the source IP
addresses or destination IP addresses of packets. Those packets with different
source IP addresses or destination IP addresses are evenly distributed on the
member links of an AP according to different source or destination IP addresses.
Those packets with the same source IP address or destination IP address are
forwarded through the same member link. This mode is specific for Layer 3
