Hi,
My network is running (3)3750 stack switches as core. I have a Quantum deduplication device that utulizes Symantec Backup Excec for all of my backups. My 3750 is running PO with (4)interfaces as LACP with the load balance src-mac.
That being said src-mac is not utilizing all of the 4 ports on Quantum due to same XOR outcome. I want to change that so Quantum ports do share the jobs.
Things I need to know:
1)Im running couple other POs. Will there be a huge impact for other etcherchannels if load balance type will be changed? - Other POs are uplink to access layer switches where end users resides on.
2)What load balance type should be used? Quantum 4 ports are bonded as one(LACP) assign with one IP. Will dest-mac help share the load by utilizing all 4 ports? NOTE. Traffic pattern is from 3750 PO (4xGi/LACP) to Quantum PO(4xGi LACP).
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
