Chapter 3 CLI Commands

(config) port-channel

To configure the port channel load-balancing options on a WAAS device, use the port-channel global

configuration command. To set load balancing on the port channel to its default method, use the no form

of this command.

port-channel load-balance {src-dst-ip-port | round-robin}

no port-channel load-balance {src-dst-ip-port | round-robin}

Syntax Description

Defaults Round-robin is the default load-balancing method.

Command Modes global configuration

Device Modes application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines The port-channel load-balance command configures one of two load-balancing algorithms and

provides flexibility in choosing interfaces when an Ethernet frame is sent. The round-robin option

allows evenly balanced usage of identical network interfaces in a channel group. Because this command

takes effect globally, if two channel groups are configured, they must use the same load-balancing

option.

Examples The following example shows how to configure IP load balancing on a port channel and then disable it:

WAE(config)# port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip-port

WAE(config)# no port-channel load-balance

load-balance Configures the load-balancing method.

src-dst-ip-port Specifies the load-balancing method based on a combination of source and

destination IP addresses/ports. This load-balancing method has replaced the dst-ip

method on devices running WAAS version 4.1.3 or later.

round-robin Specifies the load-balancing method using a round-robin resource allocation.
