♦ Note ♦

For Kodiak-based 10/100 Ethernet modules, 802.1Q 
is supported over OmniChannel. See Chapter 16, 
“Managing 802.1Q Groups” for more information.

OmniChannel balances the traffic load among links by 

MAC

 address. 

MAC

 addresses are 

assigned to physical links in the OmniChannel in a round-robin fashion. The first 

MAC

 address 

learned will transmit and receive data on the first link. The second 

MAC

 address learned will 

transmit and receive over the second link, and so on regardless of the bandwidth require-
ments of each 

MAC

 address.

For ESX-K Series Kodiak-based Ethernet boards, you can create an OmniChannel that 
connects to a server instead of another Omni Switch/Router. The intention of the Server 
Channel is to give the user the option to increase the bandwidth between a server and Omni 
Switch/Router for more client request support. This functionality is especially useful for inter-
net servers such as B2C and B2B servers.
