Hey Balavignesh,
Src-dst-ip will give you the best load balancing if applied on both
switches. This will cause the switches to load balance based on a hash of
the source and destination IP for traffic in both directions. For
documentation, check out the 3560 Configuration Guide on the Cisco website.
Cheers,

Subject: ether channel load balancing
Hi GS,
I've a query reg etherchannel, pls can someone help me understand better.
Router_1 connected to SW1 (3560) and BB2 connected to SW2 (3560). Both
switches have L2 etherchannel between them. If Router_1 is servicing clients
connected to BB2, what is the best load-balancing method.
R1 <> SW1 <> SW2 <> BB2 ---clients
Answers:
SW1 - dst-mac
SW2 - src-dst-ip
Is this correct? I am also looking for a good documentation on etherchannel
load-balancing, if any of you come across, pls share it to the group.
