You can choose one of the following criteria or any combination for load sharing: • Source/Destination MAC addresses • Source/Destination IP addresses Configuration restrictions and guidelines Follow these guidelines when you configure a link aggregation group: • To ensure stable aggregation state and service continuity, do not change port attributes or class-two configurations on any member port. If you must, make sure you understand its impact on the live network. Any port attribute or class-two configuration change might affect the aggregation state of link aggregation member ports and ongoing traffic. Avoid assigning ports to a static aggregation group that has reached the limit on Selected ports. These ports will be placed in Unselected state to avoid traffic interruption on the current Selected ports. However, a device reboot can cause the aggregation state of member ports to change.
