Alright, we made it through the section. Let's see what we talked about. We talked about aggregation of ports, definitely all the links, backbone, we knew nothing about backbone, okay? Putting all those cables together as a logical, single logical link. Alright, so you can get more bandwidth out of it, just keep in mind that it may not get the maximum throughput if all those lines are getting bombarded with frames. There's different methods of load balancing, you saw that the source remember, source IP source MAC source port, right, the only different one was or destination for the same thing, and the combination of both but the one that says source and destination port was only the 40 560 500.
So don't go crazy. Just know what they are. They're just a method for you. Load Balancing when you want to go you want to load balance port channel one, you want to go a little method. Okay so that's it which two of these are you going to use? You got to choose one i mean i running Cisco now more likely you're unlikely ever using Cisco use pack p right Cisco proprietary lackey is not okay so but the Gaby both the same when I say when I say the same, it is desirable that it's auto okay that's just the way it is it has to be running it has to understand pag p protocol you can combine or not one or the other.
Or if you just want to just say on and then that's it. The configuration on either channel, you saw that you saw that you create a port right over the channel. Alright, then you tell her what protocol you're going to use your trunk ports, okay, even though they don't have to be okay, but in this case you're trying to forge but again you looked at the lab and you saw how we did that. You saw the comparison because goes on top, we have the same exact scenario than we did on the bottom. But on the top, there is no either channel, and you see how one port is blocked, where the bottom all lights were green. All lights were green.
And that's because we made it into one single port and then you have show commands, just verify to make sure okay that your ether channel configuration is working properly, that your load balancing, if you did any is actually doing what it's supposed to do. Then you can just do summary and take a look at everything what's going on. Okay, that's it. As always, our goal is either channel to channel something Google crazy about thing, the hardest thing was the source methods. It just look weird. Whenever you break it down like I did in that table, you'll understand Okay, source destination IP, Mac, or port number.
I'm not the combination for the bottom one. Just keep that in mind. That's all it is. That's all it is. Knowing the channel before it is not something new do they shouldn't be something Interview Are you done in your CCNA or probably in ccmp route as well, so you'll be just fine. All right.
See you next one.
