Etherchannel load balancing not working properly
I've got a weird problem that I hope someone can shed some light on. We
have multiple 3560G's deployed currently, each utilizing 4 SFP's for uplink.
The switches are configured with 2 L2 port-channels, with a different SVI in
each port-channel pointing to our upstream router. IE:
g0/49 + g0/51 to core A, carries Vlan 100
g0/50 + g0/52 to core B, carries Vlan 200
Group Port-channel Protocol Ports
------+-------------+----- ------+--- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----
4 Po4(SU) LACP Gi0/49(P) Gi0/51(P)
5 Po5(SU) LACP Gi0/50(P) Gi0/52(P)
We have two default routes, pointing out the above vlans:
switch#show ip cef 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0/0
nexthop 10.10.1.241 Vlan200
nexthop 10.10.1.245 Vlan100
The etherchannel load-balancing method is set to src-dst-ip:
switch#show etherc load-balance
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Configuration:
src-dst-ip
EtherChannel Load-Balancing Addresses Used Per-Protocol:
Non-IP: Source XOR Destination MAC address
IPv4: Source XOR Destination IP address
IPv6: Source XOR Destination IP address
However, we are not seeing an even distribution of traffic among the 4
ports -- each L2 etherchannel is trasmitting on only one port:
switch#show control util
Port Receive Utilization Transmit Utilization
Gi0/49 1 55
Gi0/50 6 0
Gi0/51 1 0
Gi0/52 12 57
Examination of flowstats from the core on the uplink interfaces shows a good
mix of src/dst IPs -- so why am I getting the polarization?
Additionally, examining a test flow with the command line shows that it
SHOULD be working, but it's not:
switch#show ip cef exact-route 172.16.79.186 192.168.42.183
172.16.79.186 -> 192.168.42.183 => IP adj out of Vlan100, addr 10.10.1.245
switch#test etherchannel load-balance interface po4 ip 172.16.79.186
192.168.42.183
Would select Gi0/51 of Po4
However, g0/51 has no traffic on it, and hasn't for some time. Can anyone
provide some clue? This is occuring on multiple switches, and all switches
are running 12.2(50)SE1 ip services

Can you share the full configuration of both sides? Sounds like a misconfiguration or a bug.
