On switches that do not have the “i” chipset, the following additional rules apply:
• Ports in a load-sharing group must be contiguous.
• Ports on the switch are divided into groups of two or four.
• Address-based and round-robin load sharing algorithms do not apply.
Follow the outlined boxes in Ta b l e 5 - 2 through Table 5 -7 to determine the valid port
combinations.
Tab le 5-2, Ta bl e 5- 3, Table 5 -4, Tabl e 5 -5 , Table 5- 6, and Ta bl e 5 - 7 show the possible
load-sharing port group combinations for the Summit1, Summit2, Summit3, Summit24,
Summit4 and Summit4/FX, and Summit48 switches, respectively.
* In addition, ports 1 and 8 can be combined into a two-port load sharing group on the
Summit1.
