LACP and frame distribution

Hi Andreas,

 

 

The Source/Destination IP address is the best setting to choose with most LACP configurations. It supports the greatest amount of entropy on the wire and thus provides the best method of outbound distribution from the BIG-IP to the Cisco. Because multiple VLANs can share the same MAC on the BIG-IP, choosing the src/dst. MAC hash should be used with care. Likewise, it is less common to have a wide variety of layer 2 destinations as opposed to layer 3 destinations, so dest MAC is rarely used. These settings are mostly helpful in corner cases.
