11. From the Hash Mode menu, select the load-balancing mode for a port channel (LAG):
• 1 Src/Dest MAC, incoming port. This mode uses the source and destination MAC
addresses and incoming port that are associated with the packet. This is the default
mode.
• 2 Src/Dest IP and TCP/UDP Port fields. This mode uses the source and destination
IP addresses and source and destination TCP or UDP port values that are associated
with the packet.
Note: The switch balances traffic on a port channel (LAG) by selecting one
of the links in the channel over which packets must be transmitted. The
switch selects the link by creating a binary pattern from selected fields
in a packet and associating that pattern with a particular link.
