Source MAC Load Balancing
Source MAC Load Balancing
The second load-balancing policy available for a NIC team is the source MAC-based policy, shown in Figure 3.25. This policy is susceptible to the same pitfalls as the vSwitch port-based policy simply because the static nature of the source MAC address is the same as the static nature of a vSwitch port assignment. Like the vSwitch port-based policy, the source MAC-based policy is best used when the number of virtual network adapters exceeds the number of physical network adapters. In addition, virtual machines are still not capable of using multiple physical adapters unless configured with multiple virtual network adapters. Multiple virtual network adapters inside the guest operating system of a virtual machine will provide multiple source MAC addresses and therefore offer an opportunity to use multiple physical network adapters.
Virtual Switch to Physical Switch
To eliminate a single point of failure, the physical network adapters in NIC teams set to use the vSwitch port-based or source MAC-based load-balancing policies can be connected to different physical switches; however, the physical switches must belong to the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. Link aggregation using 802.3ad teaming is not supported with either of these load-balancing policies.
