This section describes how to configure EtherChannel load balancing by using source-based or 
destination-based forwarding methods. For more information, see the 

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure EtherChannel load balancing. This 
procedure is optional.

To return EtherChannel load balancing to the default configuration, use the no port-channel 
load-balance global configuration command.

Network devices are classified as PAgP physical learners or aggregate-port learners. A device is a 
physical learner if it learns addresses by physical ports and directs transmissions based on that 
knowledge. A device is an aggregate-port learner if it learns addresses by aggregate (logical) ports. The 
learn method must be configured the same at both ends of the link.

When a device and its partner are both aggregate-port learners, they learn the address on the logical 
port-channel. The device sends packets to the source by using any of the ports in the EtherChannel. With 
aggregate-port learning, it is not important on which physical port the packet arrives.

Enter global configuration mode.

port-channel load-balance {dst-ip | dst-mac | 
src-dst-ip | src-dst-mac | src-ip | src-mac}

Configure an EtherChannel load-balancing method. 

The default is src-mac.

Select one of these load-distribution methods:

dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the destination-host IP 
address.

dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the destination-host 
MAC address of the incoming packet.

src-dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the 
source-and-destination host-IP address.

src-dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the 
source-and-destination host-MAC address.

src-ip—Load distribution is based on the source-host IP 
address.

src-mac—Load distribution is based on the source-MAC 
address of the incoming packet. 

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Verify your entries.

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
