Abstract
Each of the n port switches set LAG to m links which respectively connect the port switch and m fabric switches. For example, the port switch performs a hashing operation for a frame received at a predetermined port and containing a layer 4 port number of an OSI reference model by using the port number, determines one link based on a result of the hashing operation from among the m links to which the LAG is set, and relays the frame to the one link.
