SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORMING AND USING A GROUP OF LINK AGGREGATION GROUPS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC ON INTERCONNECT LINKS

摘要

An information handling system is provided. The information handling system includes a first switch that has a computer processor in communication with a plurality of ports for receiving and sending packets and a memory including a look-up table. The look-up table associates at least some of the plurality of ports with a group of link aggregation groups (LAGs) such that an incoming packet is received by the first switch as belonging to a first LAG of the group of LAGs and an outgoing packet is sent out from the switch as belonging to either the first LAG or a second LAG of the group of LAGs depending on a type of the outgoing packet. Methods for forming and using a group of LAGs to reduce traffic on interconnect links are also provided.
