    [Cisco] Load Balancing & Aggregated Fast Ethernet Ports / TRUNK between Cisco Catalyst 3750 using Port-Channel

    Posted by admin on 15th July 2010

    Without Stack Cable that can accommodate 32 Gbps and no more Gig Ports available.
    Cisco Catalyst 3750 Fast Ethernet Ports can be aggregated to be a trunk and to have n x 100 Mbps capacity.
    “n” is the number of Fast Ethernet, the technology is called Port-Channel.

    If you have existing trunk with Fast Ethernet, here the trick to migrate [configuration applied to both switches] :

    A. Port Channel
    1. Config Port-Channel “x”
    x is what ever number :)
    2. Set Port-Channel to be trunk
    3. Set Port-Channel trunk type

    B. FastEthernet
    1. Config Fast Ethernet as Trunk also Trunk Type.
    2. Config Fast Ethernet to be included in channel-group 1
    Channel-Group 1 associate with Port-Channel 1
    3. Don’t forget the mode channel-group is on [avoiding looping traffic ?]

    If All done both switches,
    C. Migration
    1. Plug the Cross Cable in between ports
    2. Immediately unplug the existing trunk [may be on fast1/0/48 for e.g]
    Both action should be done at the same time, unless the switch stop to work :) nope sure this is a looping symptom or not.
    3. Check the link in between by ping, trace, show interface etc.
    4. If all running good, set you existing trunk to be included on channel-group x also do not forget the trunk encapsulation type.
    5. You’ll now have 3 x 100 Mbps :)
    6. Your traffic is not load shared……

    D. Load Balancing
    1. Config “port-channel load-balance dst-ip” [my choice]
    2. Check the traffic load on trunk ports, it should be shared now.

    Issue : still not balanced dan shared 100% the same volume on each of trunk interface.

    ====================================
    port-channel load-balance dst-ip

    interface Port-channel1
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk

    interface FastEthernet1/0/1
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
    speed 100
    duplex full
    channel-group 1 mode on
    !
    interface FastEthernet1/0/2
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
    speed 100
    duplex full
    channel-group 1 mode on
    =====================================
