Refer to the exhibit:
hostname Switch1
!
port-channel load-balance dst-ip
!
interface gigabitEthernet0/1
channel-group 10 mode active
!
interface gigabitEthernet0/2
channel-group 10 mode passive
!
hostname Switch2
!
port-channel load-balance src-mac
!
interface gigabitEthernet0/1
channel-group 10 mode passive
!
interface gigabitEthernet0/2
channel-group 10 mode active
!
What is the result of the configuration?
| A. |
The EtherChannels would not form because the load-balancing method must match on the devices. | |
| B. |
The EtherChannels would form and function properly even though the load-balancing and EtherChannel modes do not match. | |
| C. |
The EtherChannels would form, but network loops would occur because the load-balancing methods do not match. | |
| D. |
The EtherChannels would form and both devices would use the dst-ip load-balancing method because Switch1 is configured with EtherChannel mode active. |
An etherchannel will form if one end is active and the other is passive. The table below summarizes the results for LACP channel establishment based on the configuration of each side of a link:
LACP Channel Establishment
Load balancing can only be configured globally. As a result, all channels (manually configured, PagP, or LACP) use the same load-balancing. This is true for the switch globally, although each switch involved in the etherchannel can have non matching parameters for load balancing.
