Etherchannel Loadbalancing

Assuming I have 2 switches connecting to each other.
on one switch I configure Port-channel Load-balance src-mac
and on the other switch I configure Port-channel Load-balance dst-mac

I have not tried yet it, but wonder if it will work

Thank you

The method you use should be the same at each end.

That's what I wanted to know.. if it got to be the same on both ends or it can be different

It should be the same or you'll get some weird issues.

Predrag you are right. That'll teach me not to multitask :-)

I concur, it is locally significant. I think in fact, it would be almost counter productive to use both ends with the same value in some scenarios.

I haven't watched the whole of this (it is a bit long and slow), however I suspect it may be helpful in seeing what the different options do:

There was an excellent video provided with my CCNP/CCDP but I can't find it anymore, it was a concise breakdown of the video above.
