4.) Creating SEA wth Load Sharing mode
lal the Load sharing teria are satisfied, then Load sharing can be enabled by setting the ha_mode atibute of SEA
davice lo "sharng”. This value must be set on primary SEA first before its set for the backup SEA, because
the backup SEA Initiates the request for load sharing. If this sequence is not followed (means not activated
fon the primary first), then a chdev must occur on the backup SEA for Load sharing to work.
\Wnen the backup SEA is configured in Load sharing mode it intates the request fr Load sharing by sending a special
packet over the eontral channel tothe primary SEA.
‘The packet contains the Ist of VLANs the backup SEA proposes to lake over for bridging
\Wmen the primary SEA receives tne request for sharing t veries the request and grants tne request ft meets the
sharing tera
‘Aer the primary SEA grants the request, it etches over to sharing mode and sands an ACK pact to backup SEA
‘a the control channel
‘When the backup SEA receives the ACK packet k swiches to sharing mode and starts bldging for VLANS Ithac
proposed to bridge.
From then on, Heartbeats are exchanged between the primary and the backup SEA n load sharing mode.
Diferent to the vraditonal SEA failover mode, both the primary anc the backup SEAs send and receiv heartbeats.
Note that these heartbeats ara in addton to heartbeats ser by the primary SEA in traditional SEA falover mode
Wren eter side (prmary or backup) fal to recelve load sharing heartbeats fora predetermined pariod of mo, ts
‘assumed thatthe other SEA has encountered a problem and it fals back to non-sharng mode and Star's bridging traffic
for a VLANs
To restart Load sharing, a chdev must occur onthe backup SEA for the hackup SEA to reiniate Load sharing request

4) Whats the algritim thatthe VIOS pair uses fo determine which VIOS should “own” the ID's?
IOS divides tho numbor of trunk adaptors by 2. One VIOS bridges all VLANs of one hal
does bridging for VLANs ofthe other halt.
