Hi there,

port-channels do not load-balance on a per-packet basis and therefore will not give an even load distribution. Instead they use a hashing algorithm to balance on combinations of packet header attributes. Different platforms have varying options. Have a look at this document for further info:

cheers,

Seb.

Can you post configuration and output

 

show run intter po X

show run |  in etherchannel

 

make sure both the side same kind of config to load share

 

port-channel load-balance {src-mac | dst-mac | src-dst-mac | src-ip | dst-ip | src-dst-ip | src-port | dst-port | src-dst-port | mpls} global configuration command in order to configure the load balancing.

Show port-channel load balance

 

Do this command,

notes:-

ClientS -SW1-SW-Server

you want to make load balance in port channel between two sw,

you will go deep 

what is the constant not change ?

for server the MAC address is same,

for server IP address is same,

for server the port address is same,

for clientS , the MAC address and IP address and port is different, so in SW1 make load balance do according to source Mac or source ip or source port.

i prefer Mac and port.
