Layer 3 etherchannel - load 0x00

folks
i have a quick question i'm hoping you can help with
i have a layer 3  etherchannel between 2 * 3750G stacks, both clusters use gi1/0/25 and gi/2/0/25 for the etherchannel and both are set as 'on'
i have traffic passing over the link but i get the following output from a show etherchannel detail
there are no bits being recorded and the load is 0x00
can someone help to explain this please?
thanks to anyone taking the time to reply

Hi,
I guess this is just a hardware limitation on the 3k platforms (ASICs).

  • Etherchannel Load balancing

    I have three Gigabit aggregated with LACP to a IBM server. When I ask one ftp from this server I saw the performance is around 80 MB/s, if I ask two ftp to different equipmpents the performance is 160 MB/s (it uses 2 of the links of the bundle). However if I ask for three ftp the performance keeps in 160 MB/s although it uses the three links of the bundle. Is there a limit for Cisco? Anyone knows the reason? It seems like we can transmit as maximum at 160 MB/s

    Glen is absolutely correct. on layer 2 switches EtherChannel load balancing can use either source-MAC or destination-MAC address forwarding.
    With source-MAC address forwarding, when packets are forwarded to an EtherChannel, the packets are distributed across the ports in the channel based on the source-MAC address of the incoming packet. Therefore, to provide load balancing, packets from different hosts use different ports in the channel, but packets from the same host use the same port in the channel. With destination-MAC address forwarding, when packets are forwarded to an EtherChannel, the packets are distributed across the ports in the channel based on the destination host MAC address of the incoming packet. Therefore, packets to the same destination are forwarded over the same port, and packets to a different destination are sent on a different port in the channel.
    So with every different source or destination mac it will use a diff link. If there is a session started on a aprticular link for a source to a destination it will keep on using the same link until the session termiantes or link goes down.

  • Etherchannel Load-Balance

    Hi All,
    I have one Catalyst 6509 connected to Catalyst 4500X-VSS using a Layer 2 Etherchannel.
    So, 6509 are using src-dst-ip for Etherchannel Load Balance and 4500X are using src-dst-port.
    Anyone knows if this will work fine or if I may have some problem?
    Is recommended change that configuration or not?
    Tks.

    I agree with Karsten, That there would be any problem.
    As you know Etherchannel is kind of load sharing among the links...It has its own way of load sharing/balancing the traffic if you leave it to default. (which means you might end up using the same link most often times if you dont change the default load balancing method). Hence we see people change the default method to the one which they want and get the nearest load sharing/balancing over the links utilization.

  • Etherchannel Load-Balancing To Host (Confused)

    I'm a bit confused as to how an etherchannel load-balances traffic across all the links, in the port-channel.  If I have a 4 port etherchannel, to an AIX host, does the traffic load balance across all 4 ports?   In reading the load-balancing documentation, it states that a global configuration of src-mac forwards traffic from the same host, over the same port, all the time, whereas it forwards traffic over different ports for other hosts.  What if it's the same host tied into the port-channel?  So if my AIX box has 4 ethernet cards in a port channel, each ethernet card goes over only one link?  If the ethernet cards are bundled, into a port channel config, is there no way to load balance all the traffic?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the etherchannel configuration and how it works.  Thanks for any and all help!!
    Dan

      Port channel is link aggregation for all traffic which will get distributed across all links.  A given ip conversation will only travel down one of those links at any given time. The single ip conversation is not carried say for instance across all 4 links if it's a 4 port etherchannel.

  • Etherchannel load balancing options

    Reading up on my Etherchannel load balancing options (src or dst, mac or IP) it seems to me that I don't have a good way of using Etherchannel to increase bandwidth in my situation. In my scenario, I have a Windows terminal server servicing a couple hundred users which are using a SQL database on a 2nd server. Both servers are on the same switch. Basically I only have one MAC and one IP. Is there a way to utilize multiple links in this scenario? It seems like I would need a packet based technique to take advantage of multiple channels and unfortunately that isn't an option with etherchannel. Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Diego

    Hi Diego,
    If I understand you correctly, your scenario is similar to this
    200users--Switch===channel===Switch--Server1+2
    If that's how it is set up, then you have multiple source addresses with the same destination address. So if you select either 'source' or 'source and destination' as your frame distribution method, then you should have a pretty even distribution of traffic.
    HTH,

  • Layer 3 Etherchannel on C2960X

    Hello all,
    Does Cisco 2960X catalyst switches support Layer 3 Etherchannel ?
    I went throught the datasheet, where it mention of supporting Etherchannel technology only.
    Can any body confirm it to me please that does it support layer 3 etherchannel or not ?
    Following is the exact part number of device from BoQ
    WS-C2960X-48FPD-L
    Catyalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 2 x 10G SFP+
    Regards,

    2960-X only has LAN Base.  This has very limited Layer 3 functionality.
    2960-XR, however, has IP Lite and can do some routing stuffs.  In my opinion, if you want Layer 3 etherchannel, 2960-XR is your choice.

    An SVI will only come up if an active Layer 2 ports either exists in than Vlan (i.e an access port) or a Trunk port which carries that Vlan tag.
    Your connections to other switches are Layer 3 (i.e they have an IP address) so as far as the switch is concerned, the SVI is not needed as there is no active ports requiring it.
    A vlan is a layer 2 entity so it will not be tagged across your Layer 3 link, hence why the SVI believes its not yet needed so stays down.
    If you just need an IP address for management of the device then use a Loopback interface as they are virtual also but do not require an active Layer 2 link to come up.
    Thanks

  • IPS etherchannel load balancing design

    Is it possible to do a etherchannel load balancing with the design attached? i know I need to configure vlan pairs but I'm not sure if it's possible with my current design

    Etherchannel design will work with interface pair as well ,provided the design is appropriate to take care of the asymmetry.
    Coming to your design, if i understand the requirement correctly, you wish to create etherchannel between 3750 stacked switch and the pair of CAT6K. Enabling VSS on the pair of CAT6K switches and then creating etherchannel should help.But the flow symmetry will not be guaranteed ( meaning the same IPS may not see the forward and the reverse packets of the flow).

  • EtherChannel load-balance on Catalyst 6500 running CatOS

    I know EtherChannel load balancing can use either MAC addresses, IP addresses, or the TCP port numbers.
    1 Can I config it to make sure every port under the same Channel group has the same traffic utilization?
    2 If one of the Etherchannel physical port has traffic more than its physical bandwidth, why switch can't use another Etherchannel physical port to share the traffic?

    Normally it will fairly well balance the traffic . There is no way to make sure each channel is exactly the same utilization wise . You can look at how it is load balanced and make a change from say mac to ip address if it looks like you aren't getting the balance you want . It would be very rare that you are going to fill one port on the channel without filling the rest almost the same .Exceptions would be if you most of your traffic is headed to one place like a certain server , even then if you used ip addresses in both directions as the load balance I think it would balance out pretty good. If it got to that point where one link was almost filled you would have to think about adding another port to the channel .

  • Layer 3 Etherchannel and MPLS MTU

    Greetings,
    If two 7609 are connected through layer 3 giga etherchannel and 7609-1 sends a frame with 1514 bytes plus two MPLS header to 7609-2, does the command “mpls mtu 1522” under the giga etherchannel interface on both routers is enough?
    Or it is necessary to add the global command “system jumbomtu 1522” and the interface command “mtu 1522” under physical gigainterfaces participating on the channel?
    Cisco docs say many platforms will accept frames higher than 1500 bytes (up to 24 bytes) to accommodate control flags; that is why I am considering just “mpls mtu xxx” is enough.
    Also, reading Cisco doc I understood that “system jumbomtu xxxx” and “mtu xxxx” should be used together. I tested sending frames higher than 1514 bytes (without MPLS tags) and “system jumbomtu xxxx” alone was not enough, ping failed; it was necessary to add “mtu xxxx” under the interface. Do you have a different experience?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    We had some peculiar exp with 7600 (7609/7606) boxes in which we did change the physical mtu of the interface instead of mpls mtu.
    Again that did the trick for us even in 7200 where we monitored the same kinda behaviour..

  • Help choose the appropriate etherchannel load balance method

    Hi
    I have 2 network architectures :case A and case B  (found architecture below)
    Case A : one server connected on the switch on each site
    Case B : 3 server connected on the switch behind a router on each site
    2 site are connected by 2 wireless link :each wireless link have 105 Mbps bandwith (I absolutly need the agregate bandwith 210)
    Site headquarter is the principal site and site backup is use to backup data located on the principal site
    I use Gbit cisco  2960 switch
    I use etherchannel to agregate the 2 switch port (port 1 and port 2) where the 2 wireless link are connected
    I configure src-mac for case A but all trafic is send only on one wireless link .
    Please help me to choose the more appropriate load balance method to load balance traffic between the 2 link for the case A and for the case B
    Please advise
    Thanks in advance

    Your Case A might be handled by port hashing, but unfortunately most Cisco platforms don't support it.
    Your Case B isn't much better, as you only have 3 hosts on each side, and according to your drawing, they are behind routers, so you don't want to use MAC hashes.  If you don't have port hashing, next best choice might be src-dest-IP hashing.  Again, though, with just 3 hosts, your distribution will likely not be very balanced, especially over shorter time intervals.
    To obtain best utilization of your links, you need some kind of better link bonding, such as MLPPP (unfortunately, usually won't scale to FE rates) or a hardware MUX.  Next best option, if you could route across the links, would be something like Cisco's OER/PfR which can dynamically load balance.

    You can use the addChildAt() method to place things behind other things.  You can also use the setChildIndex() method.  Both are explained in the Help documentation.

  • Load files to stack with out file extention as part of layer name

    Ok so as the title says i'm trying to figure out how to modify the "Load Files to Stack..." script so that it doesn't put the file extention as part of the layer name. it makes it a pain to have to go through and remove it when dealing with a lot of layers. I'm using photoshop CS5 on Win 7.
    Also if possible a script that would make Comp Layers for each layer created when loading files to stack it's a bit much to ask but worth a shot

    If anyone is just looking to import files into stack without extension names here's what I did:
    1- Go to your adobe scripts folder:
    64 bit - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts\
    32 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts\
    2 - Copy and paste these 2 files somewhere other than in the adobe folder like the desktop (I had to due to permission restrictions when saving):
    Load Files into Stack.jsx
    Stack Scripts Only\CreateImageStack.jsx
    3 - Rename these files to
    Load Files into Stack - no ext.jsx
    CreateImageStack_noext.jsx
    4 - edit Load Files into Stack - no ext.jsx (I use notepad++) and save
    Line 16 - <name> Load Files into Stack (no extension) </name>
    Line 43 - $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "CreateImageStack_noext.jsx");
    5 - edit CreateImageStack_noext.jsx, insert this line into "line 411" (just above "app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = this.fName;") and save
    Line 411 - this.fName = this.fName.replace(/(?:\.[^.]*$|$)/, '');
    6 - copy and paste these edited files back into your adobe ...\Presets\Scripts\ folder (overwrite folder), reload photoshop and you should now see in File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack (no extension) available!
    And for the lazy, here are the two files
    load_files_into_stack_no_ext.zip
    drop these in your photoshop scripts folder:
    64 bit - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts\
    32 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts\
    Hopefully this helps someone! Why adobe just doesn't have this as the default is beyond me.
