Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Interfaces
Enabling Link Aggregation
•
The Catalyst 6500 series switches running in PFC3 or PFC3CXL mode implement enhanced
EtherChannel load balancing. The enhanced EtherChannel load balancing adds the VLAN number
to the hash function, which is incompatible with LAG. From the 12.2(33)SXH and later releases,
Catalyst 6500 IOS software offers the
exclude vlan
keyword to the
port-channel load-balance
command to implement
src-dst-ip
load distribution. See the
Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware
Component Command Reference
guide for more information.
•
Enter the
show platform hardware pfc mode
command on the Catalyst 6500 switch to confirm the
PFC operating mode.
The following example shows a Catalyst 6500 series switch in PFC3B mode when you enter the
global configuration
port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip
command for proper LAG
functionality:
#
show platform hardware pfc mode PFC operating mode
PFC operating mode : PFC3B
#
show EtherChannel load-balance
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Configuration:
src-dst-ip
The following example shows Catalyst 6500 series switch in PFC3C mode when you enter the
exclude vlan
keyword in the
port-channel
load- balance
src-dst-ip
exclude vlan
command.
#
show platform hardware pfc mode
PFC operating mode : PFC3C
#
show EtherChannel load-balance
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Configuration:
src-ip enhanced
#
mpls label-ip
•
If the recommended load-balancing method cannot be configured on the Catalyst switch, then
configure the LAG connection as a single member link or disable LAG on the controller.
