BlackDiamond switch modules that use the “i” chipset do not require contiguous ports
in the load-sharing group. On “i” chipset BlackDiamond switch modules, the following
rules apply:
• One group can contain up to 8 ports.
• The ports in the group must be on the same I/O module.
• The ports in the group do not need to be contiguous.
To define a load-sharing group, you assign a group of ports to a single, logical port
number. To enable or disable a load-sharing group, use the following commands:
enable sharing <port> grouping <portlist> {port-based | address-based |
round-robin}
disable sharing <port>
