Hello,
I have for example a LAN with several switches (SW1-4) connected together with Etherchannel, an ESX is connected to the SW1 with Etherchannel too, and an other server connected to SW4.
ESX====SW1====SW2====SW3====SW4====SRV

My ESX need to have a load balancing method like src-dst-ip. That's not a problem, I change it in SW1.
Then :
- Because there is an other etherchannel between SW1 and SW2 and because the load-balancing command affect every etherchannel in the switch, I will change the load balancing method of the SW2 to be agree with SW1 because default is src-mac.
- I'm doing the same for SW3 and SW4.
Everything will be good if my server have a src-dst-ip load balancing configured.
My question : If my server is still in src-mac for example or everything else than src-dst-ip, what's could be the solution to be clean and satisfied both ESX and Server load balancing methods ? without changing servers load balancing methods.
I don't think that's possible because of the switches load balancing process...
Thanks for your responses,
