Configuring Cisco Switches for Load Sharing
These are sample configuration commands for Cisco switches.
For 802.3ad:
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet <all the
participating interfaces>
Switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active
Switch(config-if)#channel-protocol lacp
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch(config)#interface port-channel 1
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan <the wanted vlan
number>
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#write
For XOR:
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet <all the
participating interfaces>
Switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode on
Switch(config-if)#exit
Switch (config)#interface port-channel 1
Switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan <the wanted vlan
number>
Switch(config-if)#end
Switch#write
Changing the Bond Interface Mode
You can change the bond interface mode between High Availability and Load Sharing as required for your
deployment. This process of changing between bond interface modes automatically reboots the VSX
Gateway or cluster members.
To change the bond interface mode:
From the VSX Gateway or cluster member command line, run sysconfig.
1. Select Network Connections.
2. Select Configure Connection.
3. Select the bond interface.
4. When prompted, confirm that you wish to continue.
5. Select a bond mode.
6. Repeat this procedure for each cluster member as required.
Enslaving Interfaces to a Bond
You can only enslave interfaces that are attached to vrf context 0.
