I have set up an static link aggregation with a powerconect2848 and there are 3 kinds of link aggregation avaiable: Layer2, Layer3, Layer2/3. Which differences there are between them? Can someone indicate some documentation about it ?
On the LAG port will traffic several vlans, which is gonna connect as a trunk port through an vmware standard vswitch.
– Layer 2 — Enables load balancing based on static and dynamic MAC addresses. – Layer 3 — Enables load balancing based on source and destination IP addresses. – Layer 2-3 — Enables load balancing based on static and dynamic MAC addresses, and source and destination IP addresses.
