Address-Based Load Sharing
All ExtremeXOS platforms support address-based load sharing.
The following are the types of traffic to which addressed-based algorithms
apply and the traffic components used to select egress links:
-
IPv4 and IPv6 packets—Load sharing is based on the configured options supported on each platform:
-
L2 algorithm—Layer 2 source and destination MAC addresses. Available on SummitStack and all ExtremeSwitching series switches.
-
L3 algorithm—Layer 3 source and destination IP addresses. Available on ExtremeSwitching series switches and SummitStack.
-
L3_L4 algorithm—Layer 3 and Layer 4, the combined source and destination IP addresses and source and destination TCP and UDP port numbers. Available on ExtremeSwitching series switches.
-
-
Non-IP traffic—The source and destination MAC addresses.
