Let me give you some examples...
1.
L3 Etherchannel
Network--------R2=========R3-------Network
A B
Will you ever use src-mac or dest-mac load balancing
on a L3 etherchannel?
Of course not! Otherwise you are going to use only one
etherchannel link for all your traffic
2.
L2 etherchannel
HostA ----SW1===========SW2-----NetworkB(many hosts)
You sure don't want to use src-mac or src-ip LB on
SW1;
or dst-mac/dst-ip on SW2
Does this make sense to you?
I'm sure if a question like the one you were asking
pops up in the CCIE lab, the scenario will be vey
similar the ones I described above.
