Load Sharing Rules and Restrictions
for All Switches
Additionally, the following rules apply to load sharing on all
switches:
- The ports in the LAG do not need to be contiguous. The ports in the
LAG can span multiple modules in a modular switch, or multiple stacked switches.
- A LAG that spans multiple modules must use ports that have the same
maximum bandwidth capability, with one exception—you can mix media type on 1 Gbps
ports.
- On both ingress and egress direction on BlackDiamond 8800 series
switches and Summit family switches, when you configure an ACL to a LAG group, you must
configure each of the member ports exclusively.
Note
Due to a hardware limitation, MPLS terminated traffic can not be load shared across member
ports of BlackDiamond 8000 Series modules. Traffic will only be forwarded through the master
port.
