Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# no ip address
Switch(config-if-range)# no switchport
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active
Switch(config-if-range)# end

•
address.
•
dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the destination-host
MAC address of the incoming packet.
•
src-dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the
source-and-destination host-IP address.
•
src-dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the
source-and-destination host-MAC address.
