Chapter 1 Configuring Network Settings
Configuring Network Interfaces
Step 4 Complete the following steps to assign the interface to a port channel:
a. In the Port Type To Assign drop-down list, choose PortChannel.
b. In the Port Channel Number drop-down list, choose the number of the port channel to which you
want to add the physical interface.
Step 5 Click Submit.
Configuring a Load-Balancing Method for Port-Channel Interfaces
Before you configure load balancing, ensure that you have configured the port-channel settings
described in the “Configuring Port-Channel Settings” section on page 1-9.
To configure load balancing, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >
device-group-name).
Step 2 Choose Configure > Network > Port Channel.
Step 3 From the Load Balancing Method drop-down list, choose a load-balancing method:
• src-dst-ip-port—The distribution function is based on a combination of source and destination IP
addresses and ports. This load-balancing method is available only on devices running version 4.4.1
and later.
• src-dst-ip—The distribution function is based on a combination of source and destination IP
addresses. This load-balancing method is available only on devices running version 5.0.1 and later.
• round-robin—Round robin allows traffic to be distributed evenly among all interfaces in the
channel group. This load-balancing method is available only on devices running versions earlier
than 4.4.1.
Step 4 Click Submit.
To configure a load-balancing method from the CLI, you can use the port-channel global configuration
command.
Note A device group may be configured with a load-balancing method supported only by previous WAAS
software versions to configure devices running previous versions. When viewing the Port Channel
Settings page for a version 4.4.1 or later device that gets its settings from such a device group, you may
see an unsupported load-balancing method listed. However, a version 4.4.1 or later device supports only
the load-balancing methods as described above, regardless of what the device group or device
configuration window shows for the setting.
Configuring Interfaces for DHCP
Note You must disable autoregistration before you can manually configure an interface for DHCP.
