Port channel Load balancing in Storage VDC

[arohilla1978]

Hi i am not able to find how to check PO load balancing for storage VDC, although i know by default for FCoE traffic on storage vdc it is OXID but whether it is src-dst l4port or src-dst ipl4port.

Hi,

From "Nexus 5500 to Nexus 7000 Multi-Hop FCoE Configuration Example" , 

Note: On Nexus 7000, by default the source-destination-oxid load balancing mechanism is used for FCoE traffic.

So let's see what is the default load balancing mechanism in Nexus 7000,

From "Nexus 7000 interface configuration guide" ,

The default load-balancing mode for Layer 3 interfaces is the source and destination IP address, and the default load-balancing mode for non-IP interfaces is the source and destination MAC address.

Which means src-dst ip.

So what I think is you need to have src-dst ip in default VDC for OXID load balancing in Nexus 7000.
