Cant set specific load sharing mode in BAGG

Hello, I want to configure load sharing by source/destination ip and source/destination port on a specific BAGG on a HP5950 like this: [Bridge-Aggregation56]link-aggregation load-sharing mode source-ip destination-ip source-port destination-port But the CLI is not accepting the input - only IP and MAC are allowed. Why is it not possible to set this load sharing mode directly in a BAGG, while I am able to set it globally? [#]link-aggregation global load-sharing mode source-ip destination-ip source-port destination-port Will this global setting take effect in this specific BAGG even though I cant set it directly in this BAGG (BAGG is set to link-aggregation mode dynamic then and load-sharing mode is left blank)?

Re: Cant set specific load sharing mode in BAGG

Hi, the link-aggregation load-sharing mode Command used to set the link-aggregation load sharing mode for a specific aggregation group (as you tried on your Bridge-Aggregation56 aggregation group) permits, when it is not left as default (where default means it is the same mode defined on the global load sharing mode), these modes only:

  • destination-ip (which distribute traffic based on Destination IP Addresses)
  • destination-mac (which distribute traffic based on Destination MAC Addresses)
  • source-ip (which distribute traffic based on Source IP Addresses)
  • source-mac (which distribute traffic based on Source MAC Addresses)
  • flexible (which distribute traffic flexibly based on Packet types)

Said so...below the usage guidelines you should follow:

  1. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
  2. If an unsupported load sharing mode is set, the device displays an error message.
  3. The following are the load sharing modes supported in aggregate interface view:
    1. Flexible (Load sharing mode automatically determined based on the Packet type)
    2. Source IP
    3. Destination IP
    4. Source MAC
    5. Destination MAC
    6. Destination IP and Source IP
    7. Destination MAC and source MAC
