Parameters

destination-ip: Distributes traffic across PEX member links based on destination IP address.

destination-mac: Distributes packets across PEX member links based on destination MAC address.

ingress-port: Distributes packets across PEX member links based on incoming port.

source-ip: Distributes packets across PEX member links based on source IP address.

source-mac: Distributes packets across PEX member links based on source MAC address.

Usage guidelines

The global PEX link load sharing mode applies to all PEX ports on the parent fabric. You can configure the sharing mode to include a combination of multiple criteria for making traffic distribution decisions. If your device does not support a criterion combination, the system displays an error message.

If you configure the global load sharing mode multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You can also configure a port-specific load sharing mode for a PEX port in PEX port view by using the pex-port load-sharing mode command.

A PEX port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode is available, the port uses the global load sharing mode.
