Abstract
Disclosed is technology that allows a user to configure different load balance hash functions for each port channel to perform more custom-designed load balancing for that port channel. For example, some port channels may benefit from flow-based load balancing, whereas others may benefit from Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) based load balancing, or load balancing based on an inner source media access control address (MAC address) and destination MAC address, or other methods. The present technology therefore allows a user to configure a port channel with a specific hash function that causes load balancing of the network traffic in a manner specific to that port channel.
