- Symmetric load balancing
Symmetric load balancing is a mechanism of interchanging the source and destination addresses to ensure that bidirectional traffic specific to a particular source and destination address pair flows out of the same member of a trunk group. - Resilient hashing
Resilient hashing is a load balancing method to minimize the destination path remapping in case of LAG link failure. Resilient hashing works in conjunction with static hashing algorithm. - Configuring a LAG
- Deploying a LAG
- Preboot eXecution Environment boot support
- User-configured peer information per LACP
Brocade FastIron devices allow users to define their desired peers under the dynamic LAG configuration if they do not want the default first LACP trunk port to be defined as the LAG’s peer information record.
