23.1.5 Port sorting when sending frames

When link aggregation is used to send frames, to ensure efficient port use, a port is allocated for each frame to distribute the traffic to ports. The Switch selects and sorts the ports to be automatically sent based on the following information in the frames to be transmitted:

Destination MAC address
Source MAC address
Destination IP address
Source IP address
VLAN ID
Received port number/channel group number (forwarding frames only)

<>Port Allocation in Stack Configuration

For details about port allocation in stack configuration, see 7.6.2 Transfer operations for link aggregation.
